Welcome to St. Paul’s Parish
as we celebrate the seasons

of Advent and Christmas.


Gathering together,
worshiping God,
sharing the journey since 1851.

Adventus-Latin for arrived.
Advent is a time of preparation as we await the birth of Jesus;
we prepare to welcome the Word made flesh,
we prepare ourselves to see and to hear God in a new way,
we prepare for a new way of being.

The long-standing Anglican tradition is to 
observe this season: to wait and to prepare.

We save Christmas carols for the Season of Christmas. This Advent we use Eucharistic Prayer D from our Book of Common Prayer.  Prayer D is based on an old Syrian Christian Rite. 

Many generous folks make our Christmas celebrations possible.  To everyone who prepares this holy space–thank you.  To the musicians who share their gifts of beauty and joy–thank you.  To those who serve the congregation–thank you.   And to everyone who shares this time and this place with friends, and family, and strangers–thank you.  We are blessed by your presence.  Happy Christmas, everyone.
