What's New with Wallace & St. Paul's

#64

November 25, 2009

Posted by Kimberly Allen

Richmond Magazine 2009When it comes to the "75 Things Every Richmonder Should Do," our St. Paul's family is all about #64.

According to the friendly folks at Richmond Magazine, Prayer Yoga on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. in our Chapel makes the list (sandwiched between "Visit the Virginia Capitol" and "Henry 'Harry' Heth's Gold Pocket Watch").

#64, Go to worship, with a twist. St. Paul's Episcopal Church, like a lot of churches, hosts midweek activities -- including Prayer Yoga at 5 p.m. Wednesdays. Leader Suzanne McWilliams offers prayers while participants at all levels take up gentle positions (think lotus); church member Lewis Holley says the relaxed atmosphere helps him enter a state of contemplative prayer. Bring a mat and wear yoga clothes. 

Alas, as the day before Thanksgiving, our Wednesday Night programming is on a hiatus tonight. But, Prayer Yoga returns next Wednesday, Dec. 2nd, and we hope to see you there!

There is a Balm in Gilead

We turn to God as the Source, as the One from whom all blessings flow; the One who will give us all that we need to live and, indeed, to flourish. We recognize God, we know God, as the Source of everything we need. That is, until we don’t; that is, until fear, or hatred, or pride, or grief, wedges its way in, and we fall back upon ourselves, and our own instincts.

The Second Sunday in Lent

Dr. Timothy Sedgwick, Virginia Theological Seminary, was our guest preacher on Sunday, Feb. 28. You can listen to his sermon here.

Imperfection

This Lent, a prayer of ours might be that God would deliver us from the illusion of perfection—or perfectibility—that God would help us know afresh the joy of being wrong so that God might show us a still better way—his way; so that, in the words of St. Paul, his strength might be perfected in our weakness.

Where We Will See Jesus’ Face

Jesus has told us where we will see his face. We will see him shining in the faces of those whom he loved; and the great thing about looking into the face of those whom Jesus loved is our own faces begin to change…
