Being Gracious in Our Political Times
What does it mean to be a vessel of God’s grace toward others, especially those who disagree with you politically? Join Rev. Serena and guests as we delve into the example of Jesus, the Episcopal Baptismal covenant, political stereotypes, and practical exercises. The goal is to help each other find ways to approach the coming election season with humility, humanity, and grace. Sundays at 10 a.m. in Wallace Hall.

| Connect with your St. B's Family |
We are forming supper groups at St. B's! This is a great way for parishioners to get to know each other – no matter how long you've been at St. B's! Supper groups are co-ed, social gatherings composed of approximately four households that will meet 3-4 times during the fall and winter months before rotating to new groups. We are offering four types of groups: adults meeting at homes, families meeting at homes, adults gathering at restaurants, and young adults (in their 20s-30s, without children). If there is enough interest, we can form groups based on zip code and stage of life. Please complete this form to express your interest by September 21. Groups will be formed by the end of September, with the first meal ideally in October, as determined by each group. For questions, contact Anne & David Walker.
