It would be a safe and healthy place to share with others who find themselves in the similar circumstances. Between now and Sunday, March 11, anyone who interested in such a support group is asked to contact the Rev. Robin Myers.

Consider adding Centering Prayer to your life
Tuesday, February 23 • 7:00 p.m. in CRI

St. Paul’s Centering Prayer group meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. We welcome all who are interested. For more information, contact Jan Johnson.
