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!

The Call to New Life

The way Jesus lived forced a choice upon everyone who met him. Jesus didn’t grab people by their lapels and shout at them to follow Him or else. Instead, he offered himself. He spoke of God. He told the truth. He lived with compassion. He lived with love and he lived with integrity. People saw in Jesus something that caused in them a crisis and they had to choose. For the world to see Jesus today, it must look at us.

“Be Not Afraid”

Fear will remain, but how do we learn to live in such a way that fear does not get the better of us, does not hold us, keep us, back, from doing what God would have us do; that fear would not keep us from really living the lives that God would have us live. And so, in this morning’s gospel passage, we hear Jesus say, “Be not afraid.”

The Parable of the Rich Fool

“... if we’ll go back and take a closer look at the parable, there’s something there that we might have missed, something that goes beyond warning to something still more life-giving, something more encouraging than simply a message of warning.” 

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

Prayer is the work of a lifetime. Prayer changes things. Prayer changes us. We pray so that we might know the one who Jesus called ‘Daddy.’ The one who is the source of all being…
