The rector would like to express his appreciation to all who made Lent, Holy Week, and Easter so special. Without the committed support of the Altar Guild, the lay readers and chalice bearers, the ushers, the acolytes, the music staff and choir, and the entire parish staff it would be impossible to make all of this happen. There is a certain amount of unexpected ambiguity that inevitably creeps into to these liturgical events. Not a single person complained or hesitated; rather, together we all pitched in and did what needed to be done to provide a meaningful and spiritual season for all the parish. My thanks to each of you.
St. Paul's Men's Social/Service Club will be meeting on Tuesday, March 25 between 7 and 7:45 p.m. at the Drum Room in the Hilton President Hotel (1335 Baltimore) for pregame prior to going to Municipal Auditorium to watch the Championship game of the NAIA National Basketball Tournament, which begins at 8:30 pm. Jim Carr has generously offered tickets to those interested in attending the game. Contact Doug Beichley, Doug_Beichley@ellerbebecket.com , to let us know you are coming. We must have an accurate head count for this so reservations are required. Parking is available at Grace and Holy Trinity.

Book signing at Barnes and Nobles--Friday, March 28, 2008 at 7pm—Author Susan Carroll, Episcopalian and college chaplain, will be signing her newly published book, Escaping Toxic Guilt, at the B&N on the Plaza. Her publisher, McGraw-Hill, writes of this book: "Do you feel responsible for everyone around you? Do you value the feelings of others more than your own? Do you have unrealistic expectations of yourself? Then you may be trapped by toxic guilt. Trying to win the approval of others--whether they are your parents, spouse, colleagues, friends, children, or church--while being trapped by toxic guilt can strain your relationships, drain your energy, and dominate your life. The five easy-to-follow steps in Escaping Toxic Guilt can liberate you from these self-defeating patterns and put you on the path to living life fully and joyfully, on your own terms, and free from this powerful emotion"--Friday, March 28, 2008 at 7pm, Barnes & Nobles on the Plaza.
