Poinsettias!-Last Chance

If you would like to contribute to these memorials, please contact Lucy ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 617-566-4953). The deadline is tomorrow December 19.
Candlelight Carols Service Tonight
Today at 5:00 PM. Preludes will begin at 4:40 PM. This service, based on the Lessons and Carols tradition, is a special moment in our church year, when we come once again to the threshold of the Christmas promise. Candlelight Carols is in many ways just what it says it is: there are many candles and many carols, as well as a fullness of hope and wonder.
”Blue Christmas” Service on The Longest Night
Join us on the longest night of the year, December 21, at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel for a meditative service. ‘Blue Christmas’ allows us to find a calm and quiet place to contemplate our lives and families, the year just past, the one to come, and is for anyone for whom Christmas isn’t all “Merry.”
Note: St. Paul’s office will be closed from Dec 22 to Dec 29.
