St. Paul's United Church of Christ at Shawnee http://stpauls-shawnee.org Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:27:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Can you feel it in the air? http://stpauls-shawnee.org/pastors-message/can-you-feel-it-in-the-air/ http://stpauls-shawnee.org/pastors-message/can-you-feel-it-in-the-air/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:27:03 +0000 Ron Lord http://stpauls-shawnee.org/?p=76 Can you feel it in the air? Renewal, refreshment, reform your lives – it is that time of year and Lent is the harbinger of possibility. So, we invite you to be a bit refreshed and renewed during the Lent & Easter time of year and discover some possibilities in your life.

Each Sunday at 10:30 we offer moments of peace and discovery as God comes to each of us with just the word we need. Then, during Holy Week we invite you to remember all that Jesus did to bring us to re-energized life (as he named it: “life to the fullest”).

April 1st. (Maundy Thursday) we will gather at 6:30 pm for a special meal to remember his Last Supper;
April 2 (Good Friday)is so very significant and powerful;
Easter Sunday with all it’s glory has us celebrating at 7:30am and 10:30am with our Easter Breakfast in between the Services.

Please come and see what God wants you to discover.

All seasons are a gift but this Advent-Christmas time is especially beautiful here at St. Paul’s.

Please come and feel the Presence and the serenity of the Messiah. An hour to recharge and refocus is our gift to you.

Christmas Eve is special as candlelight invites you into the mystery of “God with us” (Emmanuel). Our Christmas Eve Services are at 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Whatever your journey of faith and hope, do spend a little quiet time with the One who reminds us: “I am with you all days until the end”.

However, others find spiritual nourishment in the intimacy of a smaller congregation. That’s us! Our intimate setting and very personal Worship may be just what you need for your growing closer to God and finding the meaning of life for you. Our outdoor services during the summer are unique (see the activities list) and we invite you to experience the God of nature and the God of your personal nature.
