Confirmation is a rite of passage in which a person makes a mature confession of faith and a commitment to involvement in the church. This spring, St. Paul’s has 6 people (1 adult, 5 teenagers) being confirmed into the Episcopal Church by our Bishop, Julia Whitworth.

Join us for the celebration at St. James Episcopal Church (1991 Mass Ave, Cambridge). The service begins at 4PM and a reception will follow. All are welcome!

Ministry Outside the Parish (M.O.P.) provides small grants to organizations that work for the public good outside the parish.

Anyone can become a member of the committee by attending two of our meetings. M.O.P. Committee members vote on applications at the meeting where the application is presented. All M.O.P. members are expected to read the applications prior to the meeting. Any parishioner who has attended at least two of the past year’s forums is welcome to join the Committee. 

Long-time St. Paul’s parishioner Julie House and our incoming curate Alden Fossett will be ordained into the Order of Deacons on Saturday, May 30th at the Cathedral of St. Paul (138 Tremont St. across from the Boston Common).  The service begins at 10:30AM.  If able, please come to support Julie and Alden as part of our St. Paul’s community!

oin the St Paul’s community for Lenten House Church at 6:30PM on Fridays during Lent.

We will gather at a different parishioner’s home each week for a shared supper and a time for prayer, learning and compline. This year our theme is Playing with Parables: Godly Play for Grownups. Jesus began many parables with words like these: “The kingdom of God is like . . .” During this year’s Lenten House Gatherings we’ll explore five of these kingdom parables and ask together how then can we live into the kingdom of God amidst our current reality.

Kim & Will Messenger, trained Godly Play storytellers, will present the parables for us to wonder about together. There is no preparation required for these evenings—just bring your curiosity.  We encourage you to sign up HERE to host, bring food, or lead us in gathering prayer or compline.  A pamphlet with prayers and compline will be provided

Beginning January 14th, join us for a 6-session contemplative series using writing as a vehicle for discovery. Using images and experiences of winter, we'll explore personal themes like solitude, connection, stillness, and renewal.

Each gathering includes encountering notable works of music and writing, sharing reflections and our own creations, and time for silent writing together. Our focus will be on expression and insight, rather than on craft.

Come as you are; bring an open heart and willingness to see in new ways. We will meet Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:15 PM on: January 14 and 21; February 4 and 18; and March 4 and 18. Register by contacting office@stpaulsbrookline.org
