A huge thank you to everyone who helped make sack lunches for The Gathering last Friday! If you couldn’t make it, never fear, we have more upcoming dates: Friday, July 21, Friday, August 25, and Friday, September 22, all beginning at 4 pm in the kitchen.

We will have two teams working at the same time, each making 75 bag lunches, with 7 or 8 people on each team. We are always looking for a few more volunteers for each of these dates, especially July and August dates. Please contact John Cain (johnhowardcain@gmail.com) for more information or to sign up!

Join Gary Manning and Scott Stoner for a Saturday morning contemplative walking experience on the holy ground of Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton, Wisconsin on August 19, 2023.

9:00 a.m. – Gathering Time
9:30 a.m. – Introduction and Orientation
9:45 a.m. – First Walk
10:30 a.m. – Group Reflection
10:45 a.m. – Second Walk
11:40 a.m. – Group Reflection
12:00 p.m. – Lunch ($10) and Departure
(Must pre-register for lunch)

A few folks teamed up to transform a corner of our Sanctuary into a little sanctuary for young ones on Sunday mornings! This space has a little rocker and big rocker, foam flooring, books, and quiet activities for active bodies and minds during church. Kids are always welcome in church during worship – you might surprised what is absorbed while getting the wiggles out! 

We are working on the final steps of hiring two nursery caregivers for Sunday mornings as well. Using the daycare space on the main floor, this will allow parents of little ones to have a focused worship experience if they choose. This space will be available for kids up through five years old. Kids older than five are encouraged to use the Children’s Corner and/or participate with their families in the pews.

The Trialogue Steering Committee’s Proposal for Reunion includes new regions for fostering deeper connection and relationship. Regional missioners would support local congregations; foster relationships among congregations, clergy, and lay leaders; and ensure connections with the bishop and bishop’s staff.

The Steering Committee has now developed a proposed regional map and list of congregations in each region. Download the map and list.

This map is a draft, and the Steering Committee wants to know what you think! Please send your comments and bishops to contact@wisconsintrialogue.info

Hello Everyone,

September is just around the corner, which means Education for Ministry (EfM) is set to resume soon! EfM is a four year program which covers the Old Testament (first year), the New Testament (second year), Church History (3rd year) and Theology (4th year.) St. Paul has a rich history of EfM participation, one which will hopefully continue for years to come!

Our EfM group meets via Zoom on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30 PM CDT. Because we meet online, we are a diverse group of people. Some of us are from California, Minnesota and Michigan. Also, being confirmed or received into the Episcopal church is not a requirement. Our current participants come from a variety of faith traditions and backgrounds. We’re always open to more members!

Registration for the program has already begun. Slots are limited though. If you are interested in learning more about EfM and/or becoming a participant, please contact Dana Fritz at dfritz404@gmail.com

The Oral History Project was started by the Historical Commission in 2020 under the appointment of Bishop Miller and continued by the Historiographer.  The purpose of the project is to bring attention to the history and identity of the diocese by letting members tell their stories and share their reflections.  The prayer is that many will find edification in the stories.  But there is also a hope that the project will inspire an interest in the proper recording, ordering, and preservation of our history—something terribly needed at the individual parish level and also more broadly.  Maybe the project and website will help us start thinking in that direction.

To learn more about the Oral History Project and how you can participate, please click on this link to view the PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G3x1llZGcCp4illjrOaZduvzBZPHN5pL/view?usp=sharing

Or you can pick up one of the printed brochures from tables at the front and back of the sanctuary on Sunday morning!

He received a BA from Marquette University in 1988 and completed his Master of Divinity Degree at St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, in 1993. He was ordained a transitional deacon on September 26, 1992, and a priest on May 22, 1993. Scott served as a priest in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee from 1993-2002.

He began his ministry in our diocese in December of 2003, serving at St. Mary’s Parish in Dousman until June 2018. During Scott’s time at St. Mary’s, a new parish church was built and the parish experienced significant growth. From July 2018 through December 2021, Scott served as the rector of St. Thomas of Canterbury Parish in Greendale. Additionally, he served as president of the Standing Committee from October 2017 through June 2021. Scott is married to Gina Kuemmel and they have a daughter, Mia.

FORWARD SCHOLARS was a huge success this last school year!  Students participating in tutoring grew an average of 3.3 levels in reading versus an expected 2 levels for a year of instruction.  

Due to this success, we are expanding for this next school year! We will need over 200 tutors in order to provide 1:1 support for K-3rd grade students at 6-9 schools in MPS.  We will return to many of the same schools, and will definitely be adding southside schools for this coming year.

If you, or someone you know, is ready to commit as a tutor, substitute tutor or provide help such as prepping materials or packing/unpacking boxes/materials, please sign up at:  2023-2024 Commitment Form.

Disability is ubiquitous through the Gospels, from Jesus curing the blind, lepers and those who today we would consider to have a mental illness. Still, we often read these stories, never taking into account how they impact the way we view disabled people today. Join us on Sunday, October 1 in the Community Room at 11:15 am as we explore what disability may have meant to the Gospel writers, how it impacts our perception of the disabled today, and what it means to have a Savior who embraced disability in his moment of glory.

We look forward to welcoming Lindsay Schoettlin from the Sojourner Family Peace Center for our Outreach Presentation on Sunday, November 19. The presentation will be held in the St. Paul’s Community Room following our 10 am Sunday service.

Sojourner’s mission is to transform lives impacted by domestic violence. We strive to ensure the safety of survivors of domestic violence and provide a pathway out of violence through opportunities to make positive and lasting changes for survivors and their children. In 2016, in partnership with Children’s Wisconsin, we opened the Family Peace Center – the second largest, and most comprehensive family justice center in the world – to give survivors and their children a resource center geared toward seamless access to an array of ancillary support services all under one roof and in partnership with 12 local organizations. Sojourner serves nearly 8,000 individuals annually. Lindsay Schoettlin has been with Sojourner for one and half years. Her current role as Director of Development has her focused on fundraising through mail, email, social media, and grants.

In the monastic life of the Western church, men and women who lived in monasteries and convents prayed at fixed times throughout the day and night. Compline is the final prayer service of the day. Except in the case of an emergency, members of the community did not engage in conversation after the Compline.

In that spirit, we invite our Compline audience to sit back and relax into the beauty of serene vocal early music from the APERI ANIMAM ensemble. At the conclusion of the service, audience members leave in silence. It’s a truly magical experience!

Admission is free, though goodwill donations are accepted.

Following on the success of the Advent Book Group, you are invited to join St. Paul’s members and friends for a weekly discussion of Amy Jill Levine’s Entering the Passion of Jesus. Amy-Jill Levine is a Jewish scholar of the New Testament and writes with incredible generosity and wit for Christians deepening their faith. While the book says it is a beginner’s guide, Amy Jill writes in a way that provides meat for both beginners and longtime disciples alike. 

All St. Paul’s parishioners and friends are invited to join Paul Pasquesi and Pr. Seth Raymond (after March 3rd) in the North Tower Community Room at St. John’s on the Lake from 11am-12:15pm on 2/21, 2/28, 3/6, 3/13, 3/20, and 3/27.

If you are coming from outside St. John’s, please park in the south parking lot and check in at the lobby desk. 

St. Paul’s has purchased copies of the book and gladly provides them free of charge to active participants. Please see Kathy Thome or Paul Pasquesi for a copy.

In the Resurrection we are promised that death has lost its power to annihilate and destroy. One way to live in hope that death has lost its sting is to prepare ourselves and our loved ones for the end of our earthly lives. Faithful acts of preparation now are gifts we give to those whom we will meet again on another shore. 

Deacon REGS and Pat Scheeler are coming to St. Paul’s on May 5, 12, and 19 to assist ALL St. Paul’s members in end-of-life planning, including the creation of a 5 Wishes Document that serves as a guide for how we would like to be cared for in our last days and following our death. These sessions will also address funeral planning and making personal and charitable gifts.  

In the great litany we pray that God would save us from dying unprepared. God is at work through REGS and Pat to help answer that prayer. Take note!

Deacon REGS will be assisting as deacon at our Sunday worship and sessions will follow in the Community Room from 11:15am-12:30pm.
