St. Paul’s News

Dear Friends:

There are two very important services coming up at St. Paul’s.  On Sunday, November 22 at 10AM we shall observe Fr Tom Holliday’s last day with us.  This will be followed by a reception in his honor in Fleming Hall.

On November 29, the first Sunday in Advent, we will do the same for our new rector Rev James McCaskill.

I urge all of you to attend these services and give your thanks to Fr Tom and your support to Fr James.

Dick Runyon
Sr. Warden

 The Rt. Rev. David C. Jones, Suffragan Bishop of Virginia, will be making his official visitation to St. Paul’s this Sunday, October 18th.  Bishop Jones will celebrate the Eucharist at 2:00 pm.  A full meal will be served in Fleming Hall following the service.  Please plan on attending this special event. 

Because of the bishop’s visitation, there will be NO morning services for St. Paul’s this Sunday. 

We rejoice to announce that the Rev. James McCaskill has accepted the call to be the next rector of St. Paul’s.  Fr. McCaskill joins us from St Mary Magdalene, Lundwood, England, where he has served as vicar since 2004. Fr. McCaskill’s first service at St. Paul’s will be on the first Sunday of Advent, November 29.

More details can be found in the September/October newsletter.

St. Paul’s will have a special service at 10:00 on Sunday, July 26th, in celebration of Liberian Independence Day, followed by a brunch and a presentation by Mr. Alvin Jones.  For more information or to volunteer, contact the church office.
