Dear Companions in Christ,
Thanks to the efforts of many remarkable volunteers and staff members, we’ve been together for worship – one way or another – most every Sunday during this pandemic. That’s something we might have taken for granted a year ago. But now we know better. Now each week we factor in weather conditions, COVID rates of infection, technical challenges and who knows what else. Stay tuned for details from week to week. And if you’re not yet on our email and texting lists, now’s a good time to sign up – call the parish office or contact us with your email address and/or cell number. In the meantime, here are two St. Paul’s traditions we can look forward to in this time of uncertainty:
• All Saints’ Sunday November 1 – This year we gather outside by the Memorial Garden, weather permitting, to offer prayers for the departed. We’ll be praying by name for those buried from St. Paul’s since last All Saints’ Day. In addition, we invite you to call or email the parish office by Wednesday, October 28 with the names of departed loved ones you’d like to include on a special All Saint’s prayer list. These names will not be said aloud, but remembered in prayerful silence as the bells toll. Under our “Love your Neighbor” pandemic protocols, you must sign up in advance to attend the 9:30 service in-person on the North Lawn. (The link to sign up to attend in person is sent out in my regular Friday email blast, or feel free to call the parish office any time the week before.) There’s always plenty of room to join in via our YouTube channel, whether during the 9:30 livestream or archived thereafter, or on WPAA-TV. Please note: “FALL BACK” TIME CHANGE FOR NOVEMBER 1.
• Election Day Prayer Vigil – The church will be open 8:00AM- 8:00PM for prayer and reflection on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3. Can you take an hour or two to host – to simply be in church to pray or read and greet any visitors? We’ll be practicing our physical distancing protocols with face masks required to enter church, directional arrows for traffic flow, hand sanitizer, etc. We’ll also have a hand-out of suggested prayers. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can take an hour or two to host. Note that you do not need to sign up in advance to simply drop in for prayer and reflection, so please do so – and feel free to invite friends willing to abide by our health protocols.
So many other great opportunities scattered throughout this newsletter. I hope you’ll find it a source of comfort and encouragement.
Faithfully,
Dee Anne †

The 2021 Annual Stewardship Drive
This year has been trying for all of us in so many ways. However, the constant we all have had is St. Paul’s church. We are “entwined” together by our faith like that of a pretzel. The pretzel can be a symbol of the Trinity and seen as a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and spiritual fulfillment. Think about how you are “entwined” with St. Paul’s—and that we need each other now more than ever! Be on the lookout for pledge cards and maybe a “spiritual” treat!

Treasurer’s Report
Despite the continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions on re-opening businesses and social institutions, our financial situation has not been decimated.
Our income is down a good bit from what we received last year through the first three quarters of the year. Other donations (which includes holiday donations and plate offerings), Thrift Shop revenue, and contributions from groups using our facilities are down about $10,000 at this point. Our investment income is slightly ahead of last year. Pledge payments are actually a bit ahead of last year; as you may recall, though, our pledge payments last year were well below what we budgeted until December.
On the spending side, we have spent about $20,000 less than last year after three quarters of the year. We have benefited from the deferral of three months of insurance premiums for the rector’s family health insurance and property insurance, but we will need to make up for these deferrals over the next couple months. We also had two months of pension assessments waived by the Church Pension Group and have applied for two additional months; these assessments do not have to be repaid. Property expenses and utilities are about $8,000 below last year, and “Other Expenses” are also down from last year, by more than $4,000, even though we have spent considerably more than budgeted for our technology expenses.
Overall, our budget deficit is less than it was last year at this point, but still about $9,000 above our average for this point of the year over the past eight years.
Our investment funds have fully recovered from the stock market crash at the beginning of the pandemic. In fact, the current market value is above where it was at the start of the year even though we have continued to receive our monthly distribution throughout the pandemic. We have not needed to make any additional withdrawals to maintain our cash flow for operations (despite our large budget deficit), largely due to the Payroll Protection Program loan we received from the federal government. However, I anticipate that we will need to make a withdrawal in October to help us manage our cash flow through to the end of the year.

Joining Jesus Campaign
I am sending a big heartfelt THANK YOU to the parish. Despite the obstacles we faced, we were able to surpass our Joining Jesus goal. The final total was $355,500!!!
And while the fundraising part of the campaign is officially done (though if you haven’t sent in a pledge, you can still do so), the work is just beginning. As outlined in the case, as the funds from the pledges becomes available, we will use them to:
Address accessibility: Accessibility to the physical church will be the largest expense addressed by the campaign. This includes items like a reliable elevator and a ramp. But we had to expand our digital accessibility too. We’re looking at ways to enhance and continue our live streaming capabilities as we look down the road to when we will be together in church again.
Enhance our spiritual life: This includes strengthening our music capabilities through choral scholars, giving the organ some TLC and maybe adding an organ scholar program. And it is about fostering a youth mission opportunity for every child growing up at St. Paul’s.
Strengthen the endowment: Our endowment needs some strengthening to ensure our financial security and providing for the next generation of St. Paul’s parishioners.
ECCT support: We will be supporting the ECCT with some of their efforts. The Joining Jesus campaign was an ECCT-wide effort which funded and made this opportunity available to us.
Not all those items will be done at once – this is a 5-year commitment. But as we plan and develop these projects, we will let you know so you can see your pledge at work.
Thank you again for your commitment, I cannot fully express my gratitude and joy.
Yours in Christ, Donna Regan
From the Rector: Thanks be to God for Donna’s unwavering leadership
of this ambitious endeavor during a ridiculously challenging time!

Church School
Let’s face it, our church school families are overwhelmed and
need our support! Much of the burden of the pandemic has fallen
to families, especially those with parents working fulltime. As the Director of Christian Education and Formation I have focused my
efforts on creating ready-made events and appealing formation
opportunities for the kids and their parents. In September we
hosted a Church School Family Picnic under the tent on the North
Lawn. It felt great to see everyone who attended, catch up with
each other a bit, and have some fun. In October we planned a
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone outdoor viewing, and an
apple picking and hay wagon ride at Blue Hills Orchard.
The Harry Potter Study in Faith will be a 4-part offering where kids will study some of the Lord’s most important messages echoed in the
Harry Potter books.
Our youth group will start to study
compassion and anti-racism in November by reading graphic
novels. Families received Season of Gratitude goodie bags
delivered to their homes in October as well. I feel so honored to
serve our church school families and know they need our help
more than ever. If you feel called and would like to help please
contact me.
Thank you. ~Miss Frances

“Love Your Neighbor as Yourself” Event
In some way, we have all been touched by COVID-19, whether knowing someone who has lost a loved one or who has lost a job, making it difficult to provide for their family. Once again, we at St. Paul’s have stepped up to help those in need in our community as we helped ourselves and others stay safe. During the past four months, so many of you have driven through our parking lot on the first Wednesday of the month to give to help those in need. We collected 1,071 pounds of food and cash donations of $890 for Master’s Manna and cash donations of $1,095 for the Community Health Center for diapers and wipes. We sincerely appreciate and thank everyone from our parish family who have donated so generously.
But the need continues. Master’s Manna has been feeding some 315 families each week, with the number rising as this pandemic continues to affect our lives. As members of the Regathering Task Force meet weekly to focus on moving forward in the reality that things will never again be exactly as they were, they asked how can we serve most faithfully. With that in mind, it was agreed to continue to Love Your Neighbor as Yourself by holding a Community-wide Drive-Thru Food Drive from 9:00-12:00 on Saturday, November 7th and Saturday, December 5th asking the community to join with St. Paul’s in donating non-perishable food items to Master’s Manna. But to make this event a success, we need your help. If you can give even one hour of your time on these dates to collect food and help with deliveries to Master Manna, please email Sharon Rogalski at srogal156@comcast.net or call 203-678-4824.

St. Paul’s Healing Prayer Group
The Healing Prayer Group continues to meet monthly via Zoom. Our meetings begin with an opening prayer followed by a reflection with discussion. After our discussion we offer up our
prayer requests and have a time of intentional prayer.
If you would like us to pray for you or someone else please
contact the church office to let the rector know. She will contact
the group members immediately for prayer. Please know that all
prayer requests are kept confidential.
Thank you.
This is a reflection from our September Healing Prayer meeting. We sent out a few questions to the group prior to the meeting so we could have an in-depth conversation (over Zoom of course!).
The questions were:
What is your gut reaction when facing a life altering/threatening situation?
Do you believe that “faith” is enough to get through these times?
Is it okay to say “I give up”?
September Healing Prayer meeting 2020: Reflections by Vivian Horvath:
There are many times in life when we feel vulnerable and powerless - when we struggle and wrestle with God and persist until we feel like we have communicated our needs –
until we feel a kind of intimacy or freedom to let go of our emotions, be they anger, anxiety, fear or joy, compassion or any concern. We want to be sure God is listening and cares, wants justice and truth to prevail.
Jacob wrestled with God in his dream and wouldn’t let God go until he felt God had heard him and assured him by blessing him.
Many of us don’t feel we can challenge God this way, but I think He welcomes our true feelings whatever they are.
Moving into the New Testament we meet Jesus as he talks with the Samaritan woman at the well, called Jacob’s well, - in the place where Jacob once held the land. And now we have another story which shows Jesus allowing himself to be vulnerable by breaking the Law – talking to a woman in public, especially a Samaritan woman. What really struck me was the vulnerability of the woman, for Jesus could read her heart and knew her life. It wasn’t a simple life and Jesus did not condemn her. In fact, He offered her a real life in which Jesus became an intimate part, and whatever transformation took place in that woman she drew her strength and trust from this man.
Today, as we wrestle with our own life changes and struggles, we come to this same Jesus from whom this woman drew her strength and courage. Fear may have taken over much of our hearts and minds and we feel stuck in a place where we find it hard to hear God speaking. Fear is a constant struggle until we learn to turn in a new direction that faith in Jesus is pointing us toward. Until we can make that decision, we will be looking and seeking some kind of peace and consolation, asking God to do all the work for us. Isn’t it our relationship with Jesus that changes our thinking, frees us from our fears and opens up our faith? Can we hear the words, “Jesus/God is strengthening me now,” and give thanks that in truth, Jesus/God is the only Power within us – the unlimited, unceasing strength of our mind, body and spirit. In some ways, beyond my understanding yet, I know His strength will always be there.
That is where I put my faith and get through the hard times. My faith may waiver but God’s faith in me will never fail me. I know it’s not so easy to hold fast when things around you seem to be falling apart but that could be the moment when I can become most aware of my oneness with Jesus and His unending support and power within me, as long as I hold Him close. Sometimes the road we are asked to travel becomes hard to understand and accept and we realize it’s time to let it go – give it up and leave it in God’s hands.
