Confirmation OrientationMeeting

All 5-8th grade students who have not yet been confirmed and their parents are invited to a Confirmation Orientation Meeting on Sunday Sept 9th at Noon in the St. Paul Parish Hall. In this meeting we will be sharing some of the exciting things planned for this year in confirmation. It is important for all youth and parents both new and returning to be in attendance for this meeting as we want some feedback on some of the improvements to our program. If you want to make sure you get all the info, and are on the list send an email to Peggy at the church office or call 956-423-3924.

“Planted by Rivers of Water: Reading and Hearing the

Psalms”And the Psalms of Summer continue! The

Psalms are a constant source of comfort and hope. Join us in the Parish Hall for Adult Bible Study where we will take up a four-week series on "Planted by Rivers of Water: Reading and Hearing the Psalms" Together we will consider some best practices on reading and "hearing" the Psalms.

Want something more in your walk with Jesus? Tired of feeling disconnected? Looking for something different in your life this fall? Beginning September 9th, we will begin a 10-week journey together to discover what it means to receive Jesus and be rooted in Him.

Connect with Jesus. Connect with His community. Join us for the Rooted Experience. It’s not simply a Bible study or

program. It’s a discipleship experience. Sign up for a group online at (Stpaultexas.com/rooted) or at the Rooted Experience Table in the breezeway/lobby this weekend. Contact Chad Bresson for more information.

• Discipleship in The Rooted Experience is getting to know Jesus better in the context of community

• The Rooted Experience involves working through a $20 workbook (5 days of reading homework for 9 weeks)

• The Rooted Experience involves commitment to a weekly group that is discussion-based, relationship-focused, and story-centered

• Sign up for a group online (Stpaultexas.com/rooted)or at our Rooted Experience table; meeting times are provided

• Workbooks can be purchased out at the Rooted Experience table in the breezeway

• Through the Rooted Experience you'll engage subjects such as the gospel, prayer, the struggle with sin, serving others, sharing our resources, life in the local church and many others.

• You get what you put into it
