Come Worship With Us
Sunday Services: 8 and 10 a.m. (Summer schedule in effect)
Each liturgy has its special emphasis and appeal.
Details and Directions
Haitian Episcopalian Service Sundays 5 p.m.
Summer Adult Education
Forty Minutes at St. Paul's, a summer adult learning and sharing session between the services, begins next Sunday, Pentecost, May 27. Featured will be a 15-minute video describing the world at the time Jesus was in bodily form, by a biblical historian, John Dominic Crossan. Crossan says the geography, politics, economy and religion of the time are important in understanding the historical Jesus. Class is in the library at 9:10 a.m. and runs, well, 40 minutes.
New Vestments Dedicated
The Rev. Dwayne Varas, assistant, and the Rev. Tara McGraw, rector, give a special blessing at the dedication of altar linens as a memorial to Nicholas LaMarca, grandson of Tom and Lynne LaMarca, who give the prayer responses in this video. Nicholas, whose phone is in the frame, died at 8 months. Made for use in Holy Week, the items include stole and chasuble worn by the celebrant at mass, linens that cover the Eucharistic chalice, altar frontal and drapes for the lectern. They were made by parishioner Rachel Craycraft. Liturgical vestments are her specialty and her creations are used in all other seasons by the priests at St. Paul's.
Home of the Farmers' Market
Market Reopens in November
Yard Sales Sept. 29 and Oct. 27
Our yard sales are community garage sales, so if you have items you wish to dispose of you can set up your own display, or join up with a neighbor, for a small fee. Publicity and our easy in-and-out location will ensure a large crowd of buyers and sellers. For details, call the office, weekdays from 9-1, at 643-0197.
Plenty of parking, assisted by our volunteers, is just one of the features that makes our dog-friendly farmers' market a big hit in Naples. Fresh fruit & vegetables plus other goodies are on sale from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday from November through April 21. We also run Unique Boutique (see below) and a gift shop during market hours.
