What's New with Wallace & St. Paul's

Photos from First Fridays East at St. Paul’s

April 09, 2010, People of St. Paul's (41), Church (77), City & Commonwealth (63)

Posted by Kimberly Allen

For those who missed First Fridays last week, the exhibit "Simple Gifts" will remain on display in the Parish Hall throughout April. The next First Fridays is scheduled for May 7. The Virginia Art Educators Association will present a group show in our Parish Hall and the Fox Elementary School Choir will perform in the church at 7 p.m. Music and art will also be featured at Richmond CenterStage, the Library of Virginia, and University of Richmond's downtown campus. It's all part of an effort to expand the downtown art walk known as "First Fridays East." It's a great way to start out the night before heading to the main stretch of First Fridays on Broad Street between Belvidere and 1st Streets.

And now for a few photos from last week's art walk at St. Paul's...

A WORD FROM GRACE STREET

SERMONS

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.

Keep Alert, Awake, and Watchful

On any given day, there are those things that would get our attention; those things that would bring fresh perspective; those things would remind us of what is most important, what is most true. If, that is, if we but notice. We never know when those things, those experiences, those people might come. And so it has always been, so it has always been.

The Rule of 72

The Rule of 72, they call it.  It’s a rule of thumb to figure how long it’ll take to double your money. If you know you can get 5%, on your investment, then you divide 5 into 72 and that tells you: it’ll take roughly 14 and ½ years to double your money. That’s the Rule of 72. Now, sometimes an investor doesn’t want to wait 14 and a ½ years, or however long the Rule of 72 tells you that you have to wait and so increased risks are taken. And sometimes you win, and sometimes you loose.

Walk the Way of a Servant

We all want, in the words of St. Paul, to “lead a life worthy of God.” A life worthy of God. Un-like the lives of the false prophets, of Micah’s day, or the false teachers of Jesus’ day, the scribes and the Pharisees, teachers of the law. Their lives are un-worthy of God, we are told, in no uncertain terms. In their hypocrisy, they serve, not God, not God’s people, but themselves.
