December 7 and 21 at 10:45 am in the Fellowship Hall
December 7—Session 5: “What’s Faith-based Living Got to Do with Civic Life?”
December 21—Session 6: “How Do We Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord?”
A new small group for those who are frustrated, feeling down, feeling overwhelmed, feeling weary with all that is going on around us right now in our country, in our world. We want to offer some respite by offering a safe, sacred space to share feelings, thoughts and more importantly offer up ways for finding more strength, calmness, hope and peace in our hearts and minds - which in turn will better enable us to enter the everyday world as bearers of God’s peace and love.

Thomas Keesecker
Pianist and Composer in Concert
Sunday, November 16 at 3:00 pm at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
A Free Will Offering will be collected
We’re so excited to welcome pianist and composer Thomas Keesecker back to St. Paul’s! Join us on Sunday, November 16 at 3:00 pm for a 75-minute concert filled with beautiful Advent and Christmas piano music. Thomas will also be joining us for worship that Sunday, playing some of the hymns and leading the choir anthem!
It’s the perfect way to get ready for the Advent and Christmas seasons! All are welcome — invite a friend and enjoy a day of wonderful music!
After recent concerts, attendees commented as follows:
“Your playing is truly inspirational, and I loved the format with the poetry readings intermingled with the commentary, the humor, and the phenomenal truly soul-stirring playing.”
from the Director of Music, Joy Lutheran Church in Ocala, FL
I had an opportunity (and the delight) to be present for a Thomas Keesecker "informal piano concert" last night in Vero Beach, FL. Across 90-minutes, spirits were palpably salved and brightened by the intertwining mix of Tom's music played, humor offered, poetry recited (Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry, Emily Dickinson, and one other poet-I missed their name), stories shared, all in a wondrous welcoming space. AND, we got to sing his jazz chorded arrangement of "I Want Jesus to Walk with Me." Today, still coming out of last week's cold weather blast, in a set of wild news weeks, I can move forward, centered afresh. I am intent to care, ready to practice calm agency for others, for we shall overcome someday …
