Rector’s Greeting
Welcome to our website! Two thousand years after Jesus lived among us, we are a church that sees our principal ministry ot be one of healing, transformation, and restoration. especially removing any obstacles that keep people from knowing a richer and fuller life and the experience of God’s all embracing, unconditional love. I hope that what you find as you explore our website is an invitation to visit us at St. Paul’s on the Green and learn more about our parish community, its exciting life, mission, and ministry.
One of our mantras here at St. Paul’s is that “we do church differently.” At the center of that way of life is the openhandedness with which we welcome all to be part of what we do. Our “outside the box” perspective on belonging boasts a bold celebration of diversity, and the recognition that God has given us this wonderful thing called a brain and, with it, our individual intellectual gifts.
When guests come through our church doors they find this message: All persons who enter this sacred place enter with the promise that they will be free to be who they are. Radical Welcome and intentional hospitality are at the center of every aspect of our mission and ministry and in every point of entry to our life here.
We have now entered the glorious Fifty Days of Easter and you will find the season at St. Paul’s reflects the resurrection in many ways. Our worship and its music will be joyful. The gardens and labyrinth display the beauty of spring color. We continue to celebrate 275 years of our presence in Norwalk with weekly reminders of snippets from our history in our announcement leaflets and then on Sunday, April 29, with a splendid service of Evensong honoring our Golden and Silver Jubilarian members and our most esteemed eldest parishioners. Our anniversary theme is the mantra by which we live out our mission in Norwalk: Opening Doors – Welcoming All! If we have not yet–or done so in a while–let us welcome you and share with you God’s radical hospitality.
Blessings,
Nicholas Lang+
Rector
