Summer may be in full swing, but there is no shortage of activity at Saint D's this week. From Sunday worship and formation to Wednesday evening conversation, Friday's movie night, and preparations for next week's Pride Service, there are many opportunities to gather, learn, serve, and connect with one another.
Join us Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for Holy Communion.Children begin in Rooted Together Chapel in the Preschool and return to the church to rejoin the congregation for Communion. Following worship, gather with friends old and new for Coffee Hour in Daniels Hall.At 11:45 a.m., our summer forum, Paul Among the People, continues in the CFC. Together we are exploring how hearing Paul within the world in which he lived can challenge our assumptions and offer fresh insights into some of Christianity's most familiar texts.
WEDNESDAY DINNER & FORMATION
Our summer Wednesday gathering continues through July 15 as Rev. Deacon Alan Barrow leads a conversation inspired by Cherished Belonging by Fr. Gregory Boyle, SJ.At the heart of Boyle's work is a simple but transformative conviction: every person is unshakably good, and we belong to one another. Whether you have read the book or are simply curious about its themes, you are invited to join us.Dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. for a suggested donation of $10, with conversation from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. No reading is required. Bring a friend, neighbor, or family member and join us for an evening of good food and meaningful conversation.
FRIDAY MOVIE NIGHT
Looking for something to do tomorrow evening? Join us Friday for a screening of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Based on Judy Blume's beloved novel, the film explores questions of identity, belonging, family, and growing up with warmth, humor, and compassion.
Whether you're revisiting a favorite story or seeing it for the first time, come enjoy a relaxed evening of fellowship, conversation, and a great movie with friends from Saint D's.
