The Way of Love: Following Jesus and Changing the World–This week’s word is: REST. Jesus had just healed many sick and fed five thousand from a few loaves and fishes. He encountered a strong wind and rough sea as He walked on the water to reach his disciples. It is no wonder He went up a mountain with His faithful twelve. He had to remove Himself from the crowd. He needed REST. Two weeks ago, we heard from the Gospel of Mark. Jesus spoke to His apostles who had gone out, preaching, casting out demons, and healing the sick saying, "come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." We are living in a culture where busy-ness is accepted and often applauded. We can easily get burned out by doing just one more thing. We have to learn together to slow down, take a deep breath and look to our Savior who invites the weary to come to him for REST.

Thrift Shop Reopens August 5 - - We’re delighted to announce that the St. Paul’s Thrift Shop is scheduled to reopen on Thursday, August 5, resuming a regular schedule of Thursday - Saturday 10:00AM-1:00PM. Thanks to hard-working volunteers, the Thrift Shop has been cleaned and re-organized after being closed for sixteen months due to the pandemic. An award from St. Paul’s Sacred Trust has allowed the purchase of new air purifiers and other safety measures. Per the Wallingford Fire Marshall, and to be in compliance with fire codes, the thrift shop can only receive donations during business hours, Thursday - Saturday, 10 AM - 1 PM. Also, in accordance with CT state law, the thrift shop will no longer provide plastic bags for purchases. Patrons are asked to bring their own bags. Now would be a great time to consider becoming a Thrift Shop volunteer! Contact the parish office to inquire.
