Summer Book Series Finale In our concluding session,
friend of St. Paul's Patricia Lyons presents her book The
Soul of Adolescence. Patricia is Director of Service Learning
at St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School. Parents and teenagers
alike will find this an enriching and informative presentation.

am service.
Summer Worship Remember that in addition to the 7:45
and 10 am services on Sunday morning we also offer the Saturday
Faith@5 Service in Upper Norton and the Sunday 5 pm service
in the church. The summer is a great opportunity to try a
different worship experience. It is also a wonderful time
to invite a friend or neighbor to join you.
Summer Movie Nights at St. Paul's continues on Wednesday,
August 4th in Norton Hall. The doors will open at 6:30 pm
with the movie beginning around 7:00 pm. Feel free to bring
comfy chairs, pillows, and blankets; put the kids in their
pajamas; and bring a snack to share. Popcorn and refreshments
will be provided. It's fun for the whole family. The movie
title will be announced at a later time.
