From a Different Perspective

Fr. Gordon Weller

Fr. Gordon Weller

From the March, 2009 edition of the St. Paul’s News

It’s the 15th, Sunday evening at 5 p.m., and it is St. Paul’s News deadline day. This month it’s different because rather than being at home, I’m in South Carolina to have a first peek at my grandson. When it came time for Church this morning, we decided to go to the non-denominational church Sarah and Joe go to. They met at a church like this while still in college and have continued to go one like it after coming to South Carolina. I have to say that their service is not your typical Episcopal service.

Welcome to St. Paul's 2.0!

The Episcopal Church Welcomes YouWelcome! We’re glad you found your way to the new St. Paul’s website!

Here’s how it works…

Off to your left (and on the tabs across the top of the page) are some links to basic information about St. Pauls – who we are, what we do, etc.

In the right column, you’ll see some links to information outside of St. Pauls – official Episcopal Church sites, unofficial Episcopal blogs, Bible study resources, etc.

Here in the middle column is where you’ll find the latest happenings and goings-on at St. Paul’s. The newest items always appear at the top of the page (that’s how a blog works. Our new site is technically a blog. But please don’t let that frighten you!)

You’ll notice that each of the items here in the middle column have a link at the bottom that refers to comments. To leave a comment, click on it and follow the directions. If you’re new, you won’t see your comment at first. That’s because all first-time comments have to be reviewed by a site administrator (like me). We do that to guard against  spammers and other assorted mischief-makers. However, once you’ve had your  first comment approved, you’re considered “in” and you can then leave comments freely – and without having to get someone’s approval.

There’s other cool bells and whistles on the site that we’ll talk about down the road. For instance, you can vote in our poll…

Anyway, in the meantime if you have something you think belongs on the web page, feel free to email me at fergus48@gmail.com

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
