parish life
October 19, 2014
Today: Tapping the BCP w/ Mark Taylor
2:30 p.m. in Godly Play II
All are invited to join Mark Taylor for an introductory conversation around
the Book of Common Prayer, the form of the Mass, and the order of ministry
(bishops, priests, deacons, and all the baptized): what they are and how they
interact to shape the life of our community. We’ll enjoy some snacks and
samples of delightful beverages along the way, with nonalcoholic and alcoholic choices provided. We will be meeting in the Parish Hall. To ensure we
have enough refreshments, RSVP to Paul at psteinke@theseattleschool.edu.
This Tuesday, October 21: Newcomers’ Gathering
If you are a newcomer to St. Paul’s, please reserve this Tuesday evening (new
date!), October 21, on your calendar. You are invited to join Fr. Torvend and
other parish leaders for a relaxing evening of food, drink and conversation at
the home of Barbara Timms and Daryl Schlick. Their condo, with an incredible view of the bay, is a short walk from the church, west on Mercer: 521
Fifth Avenue West, No. 403. We will spend a few minutes discussing upcoming events at St. Paul’s and respond to questions you might have about the
parish. Please email your RSVP to Barbara Timms at timmsb@msn.com by
Tuesday, October 14. The gathering is from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
November 1: Metropolitan Market Parking Ends
The Mercer Street improvements have dramatically reduced free street parking on Sunday in the neighborhood. This doesn’t just affect us, but other
businesses also. St. Paul’s is very grateful for our friendly and cooperative relationship with Metropolitan Market. Unfortunately, Met Market is concerned
about the impact recent infrastructure changes have had on their increasing
weekend business, and they will be recalling our Sunday parking passes as of
November 1. Please plan accordingly. We encourage you to explore alternative transportation options. If you have questions, please contact Adam
Conley at adamconley76@gmail.com. Christopher Wagner also is glad to
provide personalized assistance with navigating area bus routes. Email him at
cmwagner@cmwagner.com or read the blurb at stpaulseattle.org about this.
Parking Stickers Available After All Masses Today
We have a little bit of good parking-related news also this week. We have
new individually-numbered parking stickers that we will be distributing over
the next few weeks. We’d like everyone who drives to church, regardless of
where you park, to take a St. Paul’s sticker and give us your cell number.
We’ll get a count of how many need parking, a phone number to call if you’re
blocking people after coffee hour, and a way to easily identify you as a person
in our community. Get yours today in the Parish Hall after all masses.

gatherings to pray for and remember friends and family members who have
died. For more information or ways to participate contact Fr. Alfredo at feregrin13@gmail.com. Evensong will not be celebrated on November 1.

Street in Tacoma. Members of St. Paul's are invited to attend to support Michael and remember Beth.

One way to get oriented to the parish
Liturgy Preparation Team gathers each Friday morning at around 9:30
Newcomers or anyone interested in experiencing some of what goes on behind-the-scenes at St. Paul’s are invited to join our Liturgy Preparation Team
on Friday mornings. This ministry does a lot of nuts-and-bolts work to get
ready for our Sunday services. It is a friendly way to learn how the liturgy is
put together, who does what around here, and what ministries are offered. If
you’re looking for a way to get plugged into the parish, be a part of this Friday morning community of people who laugh and work together. For more
details about this, write to parishoffice@stpaulseattle.org.
