Sunday Lunch Bunch Today, Nov. 6
The Sunday Lunch Bunch (SLB) is an opportunity for anyone in the parish (especially individuals, couples, or those who have no family in the immediate area) to connect with others among the St. Paul’s community while enjoying a pleasant meal. On the first Sunday of the month we gather after coffee hour and travel together via foot, carpool, or "T" to a local eatery for lunch/brunch and good conversation. All are welcome. Please join us.
Choral Evensong, Tonight at 5:00 pm
Come bathe yourself in the soothing, meditative prayers and anthems set in this wonderful Anglican choral tradition. At St. Paul’s, we open ourselves to Evensong as a time to reflect on the “ending of the day” in our lives, recognizing the multiple layers of meaning that this has for each of us. Holding evensong on All Saints Day is particularly fitting. The music will include: Day is dying in the west: Andrew Clarkson, Responses: Daniel Hathaway, O gracious light: Thomas Tallis, Psalm 150: Samuel Wesley, Magnificat and Nunc dimittis: Sir Charles V. Stanford, Selig sind die toten: Heinrich Schütz, Now the day is over: Joseph Barnby

Playground Stone Wall Needs Your Help!
Recently we noted that some of the stones from the wall in the back of the playground have become loosened over time or been removed. We are afraid that stones being removed from this wall creates a situation that is potentially unsafe and very expensive to repair. If you are using the playground, please be sure to leave the stone walls in place and encourage others to do the same! Many thanks for your cooperation.

Brett Donham will be the Gospel lector on the Cathedral’s podcast, Sacred Time, for Sunday, November 13th which is available on their website, www.stpaulboston.org.
