Weekly e-pistle 01/14/2016

St. Paul's     E-pistle  January 14, 2016 This Sunday, January 17th   Second Sunday after Epiphany Holy Communion - 10 AM   All are welcome to receive Communion! The Sundays after Epiphany continue to celebrate the revelation of the glory of God to us as it was made known to the magi and to those on Jordan's banks at the baptism of Jesus-today using wedding imagery. Our God rejoices over God's people "as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride." By the power of the Spirit there are gifts galore for everyone. In Christ Jesus the best wine is saved for last. Taste and see.   Sunday's Readings:    Isaiah 62:1-5        Psalm 36:5-10     1 Corinthians 12:1-11      John 2:1-11 Sunday's chancel flowers: are given to the glory of God by Jody Schumacher in honor of her Grandmothers birthday.  Happening Around St. Paul's Calling All Pancake and Sausage Lovers Sunday February 7th, the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, will be St. Paul's "Fat Sunday" celebration.  Come and enjoy a pancake and sausage luncheon after the service.  Have you seen our web-site lately??       stpaulsvallejo.org If you haven't seen our web-site lately you should check it out!!
