2.22.26 Congressional Note
Administrator
Dear All, We are now in the season of Lent. We hear of the 40 days of Lent –which if you count the days accurately – do not include Sundays. Which means if you are having a party, it really should be on a Sunday. Lent is a special season and calls for austerity to […]
Lent Madness 2026 to Launch With New Format, Daily Saint Bios
Administrator
By St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Lent Madness, the popular online Lenten devotion that pits saints against one another in a bracket-style tournament, will return in 2026 with a fresh approach designed to keep participants engaged throughout the season.

Administrator
Dear All, It is crazy town around the office as we prepare all the materials for our annual meeting. On top of that, we are introducing our St. Paul’s Legacy Giving Society at the same time. Plus, we have the Lansing Symphony Orchestra’s fabulous Winterlude concert next Sunday. The concert is literally sold out. If […]

Dear All, First, I hope you have a wonderful holiday! Perhaps you are traveling to someplace warm. Or, heading to a family gathering to celebrate Christmas. Or, staying home and reading a good book. Whatever it is, I hope it brings you peace and joy. I also hope you all return safe and sound in […]

December 7, 2025 Dear All, I’m not sure that I have anything wise or particularly wonderful to say to you all today. I suspect you also have those days. I finished up the bulletins for Advent and Christmas and started working on Epiphany season liturgies. I drafted and sent off the worship leaders’ schedule for […]

November 16, 2025 Dear All, Today we gather in your pledge cards which declare your financial commitment to the ministry of St. Paul’s in 2026. First, thank you! We hear much in the news lately about “affordability” – that more and more folks struggle to afford the basic necessities of life. I’m stunned every time […]

November 9, 2025 Dear All, It is chaos at the office today – concrete truck in the parking lot pouring cement to create our new heated snow melting pad – electricians drilling holes and installing wire for a switch that will control the snow melting pad – the Bishop coming to park here so she […]
11.2.25 All Saints Sunday
Administrator
Dear St. Paul’s, This Sunday is All Saints Sunday. The reason we call it this is that the feast of All Saints falls on November 1st, but we transfer the day to the closest Sunday after November 1st. The color is white in honor of all those who have died before us. We are also […]

Administrator
October 5, 2025 Dear Friends, Once again, we are horrified by a mass shooting that has taken place in a worship space – a space that is supposed to be a sanctuary for all. A sacred place of safety, community and God. Perhaps the horror is magnified as it occurred ‘just down the road’ from […]
6.22.25 Congressional Note
Administrator
Dear All, For our congregational note this week, I thought perhaps we could have some fun. I have an article that lists the Top 12 Monsters in the Bible, and I thought I would share some of it with you. So here goes! The First Zombie? In 2 Kings 13:20-21, the prophet Elisha died and […]
