STEWARDSHIP
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6: 37-38
A Message from the Rector
Dear Beloved St. Paul’s Family,
During our 2027 Stewardship Campaign, Plenty Good Room, I invite each of us to prayerfully consider the Three T’s of Stewardship: Time, Talent, and Treasure.
God has blessed each of us differently. Some can give their time through service and presence. Some can share their talents through the unique gifts God has placed within them. And each of us is invited to prayerfully consider our treasure—giving financially according to our ability to support the life and ministry of St. Paul’s.
Stewardship is not simply about what we give; it is about how we respond to all that God has first given to us. Every gift matters. Every person matters. And everyone has something to offer.
As your Rector, I ask you to pray about your commitment and how your time, talent, and treasure can help St. Paul’s continuing to be a place where there is truly Plenty Good Room for all.
May God bless you and the gifts you bring and bless our journey.
Yours in Christ’s service ,
The Revd. Judith Alexis
Rector
ALL HALLOWS' EVE & ALL SAINTS DAY
St. Paul's held All Hallows' Eve and All Saints' Day services on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. All Hallows' Eve focuses on the Christian communion of saints, mortality, and the light of Christ overcoming death. All Saints' Day honors all saints, known and unknown as well as departed loved ones. The names of St. Paul's parishioners interred in our Memorial Garden where read during the service.
BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
A rain storm didn't deter St. Paul's parishioners and members of the Southington community from attending the Blessing of the Animals on October 11. Several dogs, a cat and a stuffed toy rabbit all received blessings from Rev. Judith. The Blessing of the Animals is celebrated annually on or near October 4th, which is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi (the patron saint of animals and ecology).
BLESSING OF TEDDY BEARS
A heartfelt thank you to the parishioners who generously shared their time and talents by handcrafting 32 teddy bears to be donated to the Operation Stay Warm Store. These special gifts will bring comfort and joy to many children who receive them. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated!
BLESSING OF BACKPACKS
Rev. Judith blessed teachers and students in the St. Paul's congregation as well as their backpacks as the new academic year begins.
LITTLE FREE PANTRY
If you are able, please consider picking up a few extra items when you are grocery shopping and donating them to the Little Free Pantry in front of St. Paul's. These should be non-perishable items. Your generosity helps those in our community dealing with food insecurity.
Thank you.
