Parking Lot
Project
Dean Cathleen Bascom describes how a $100,000 I-JOBS grant will be
used to install gardens that exemplify good water practices. The
Downtown School principal John Johnson, Vice-president of
PACE/Juvenile Center John Spinks, and Interim Youth Director Vern
Johnson explore how the gardens might offer educational
opportunities for neighboring youth and children.

Since the mid-1800s, St. Paul's has felt a special calling to care
for those in our city and our world who are in economic need.

and Central Iowa Shelter meal programs and in initiatives in Africa,
in Swaziland and Sudan.

The New Altar Frontal
The new frontal
 by local artist
Carol Van Horn will be dedicated on Sunday, July 25. The frontal will be used in the summer during Ordinary Time, so it
has a green
color scheme.
The design is based
on the Biblical concept of “I am the vine.”
Here's the
Dirt--a Hands-on Learning Experience
Tuesday, July 27,
from 1-2:30 pm, school-age children and youth from St. Paul's,
joined by our neighbors from PACE and Oakridge, will have an
opportunity to get up close and personal with dirt--to learn about
what soil is made of and why sand, silt and clay are important for
water retention and drainage. This will help to better understand
what our new rain garden and parking lot will do for the downtown
environment.

Weddings
In the Episcopal Church, Holy Matrimony is not just a ceremony of
public commitment. It is a Sacrament. In the Episcopal
tradition, marriage is more than two people trying to build a life
together; it is an opportunity for God to do something special in us
and
for us. St. Paul's is
happy to host weddings for active members and their immediate
families. Occasionally we extend this hospitality to others.
What must I do to be
married at St. Paul's? |
