Anglicans For Life - Fr. J. “Tripp” Jeffords

Dear Parish Family,

On Monday, June 3rd, an initial group of people from our church, with a passion for promoting the sanctity of life in positive ways, met to explore the opening of a chapter of Anglicans for Life at St. Paul’s. What is AFL? Glad you asked!

Anglicans for Life is about God’s gift of life. It is NOT in alignment with a political worldview or political party, other than the politics of Jesus. God is the author and sustainer of life. AFL simply seeks to be true to God’s original authorship. Taken from their website, AFL is a “Christ-centered ministry that provides educational and pastoral resources to churches in the Anglican Communion, to help them bear witness to the sanctity of life.”

Issues that a chapter may focus on are: abortion, foster care support, contraception, support of unwed mothers, euthanasia, stem-cells, post-abortion care and healing, adoption, and the death penalty. AFL is not as much about condemning those who have made mistakes, as it is about ministering, educating, and bearing witness - in positive ways - to God’s love for His created beings.

On June 3rd, our steering team unanimously voted to begin an AFL chapter at St. Paul’s. Again, unanimously we voted to name the local chapter “Zoe.” Zoe (ζωή) is a Greek term used in the New Testament meaning “Life.” It is the same root word that John uses as he translates the words of Jesus in John 10:10 saying, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” It is a word that

conceptually goes back to Eve (חוה ) in Genesis who is the mother of all life. I could not think of a

more appropriate name for our chapter!

During the last part of our meeting, we began to discuss some possible initiatives for the upcoming year. We discussed a December fund raiser story telling event based on the works of Charles Dicken’s and acted by our own Tim Lowry. This would be a dinner theater type event to be held at St. Paul’s. The funds raised would be used to begin an account with ABBA, an organization founded to help Christians afford the adoption process.

Secondly, we voted to be a part of the local Walk for Life in November. We don’t know exactly the roles God has for us in this, but we would love the parish to be involved. Shannon Reed, our point person on our Zoe team is going to let us know what opportunities for ministry may be available to us.

Finally, we scheduled a meeting for EVERYONE at St. Paul’s who is passionate about “Life” issues to get involved. That meeting will take place on Monday, August 12 at 6:30 PM in the “Connect Room.” To tackle all that God has for us, we will need a robust ministry team of life-loving saints!

God’s Grace and Peace Always, Tripp+

WELCOME TO ST. PAUL’S We hope to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcomed with open arms. All guests are invited to visit our Welcome Table after the service today to receive a gift and information about St. Paul’s.

TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN - Relax! God put the wiggles and sweet little noises in children - don’t feel like you have to suppress them in God’s house. Consider sitting toward the front where children can more easily engage. Quietly explain the parts of the service and actions of the priests, musicians, acolytes, and

leaders. While in Children’s Church, your children learn: about bowing when the cross passes and why, as Anglicans, we do this; who the acolytes are; how the colors of the stoles match the liturgical calendar, prayers, etc. Now is a great time to show them what we are going over in Children’s Church.

Sing the songs and pray. Children learn behavior by mimicking you. If you have to leave the worship with your child—please feel free to do so, but please do

come back.

NURSERY AND CHILDREN’S CHURCH Childcare is available for ages birth through 3 years of age. You will find a greeter there to assist you with check-in. We ask that you please check your child in at one of our check-in kiosk located in Doar Hall and in the CY building. There you will receive a matching security tag that will need to be shown when you pick up your child.

Children’s Church is provided for children ages 3-7. Please follow the check-in instructions above. The children will be dismissed for chapel during the 10:15 service. While there, your child will enjoy a time of chapel, bible lesson that follows the lectionary, learning our Anglican traditions, and, crafts and games.

CHILD CHECK-IN—(BIRTH TO SEVEN YEARS) for both the Church Building and Doar Hall: Check-in at the C/Y building or Doar Hall. A volunteer will walk them over to the C/Y Building and a volunteer will bring them back to pick up.

CHILD PICK-UP—Please come to the back door of St. Paul's Central and present your matching security tag to pick up your child.

COMMUNION—Anyone baptized in the Christian faith is welcome to receive communion.

WORSHIP AT ST. PAUL’S SUMMERVILLE While our worship is similar to that of Anglicans across the world and through the ages, we are also a warm and loving congregation. We enjoy ancient hymns, as well as, modern worship songs produced by popular Christian artists. Worship that is biblical and draws hearts to the praise, honor, and glory of our Lord is the goal at all our services.

Our traditional worship with hymns is held in the historic Church Building. The contemporary worship, with a user-friendly screen and modern music, is in Doar Hall. We invite you to join us. All baptized Christians are welcome to join us for Holy Communion at the Lord’s table.

GIVING—Cash and checks may be placed in the offering plates. We have electronic kiosks in Doar Hall for debit and credit cards. St. Paul’s does not want anyone to incur debt in order to give to the Lord. We offer the kiosks as a convenience.

GIVING ENVELOPES—You may pick up a pack in the church office, in the back of Doar Hall, or the Church Building.

DOAR HALL COMMUNION—Communion wafers will be dispensed at the side aisle communion stations. Leavened bread is available at the altar. Feel free to choose either element/station.
