Dear Friends in Christ,
Does not wisdom call,And does not understanding raise her
voice?-Proverbs 8.1 In the book of Proverbs the glory and beauty of
wisdom is li�ed up in aphorism a�eraphorism. Along with those
merits, I would say wisdom and understanding arenecessi�es as we
navigate strange and uncertain �mes of drama�c cultural
shi�s,disagreement in the Church, and systemic injus�ce all around
us. I find it surprising andhelpful to know wisdom is not hiding,
but rather calls out and seeks to be found. Let us beamong those
who are listening. -Pastor Jonathan

Care, Serve, & Outreach
Be Healthy. Be Green. and Help Save God's EarthDid you know?
St. Paul’s has made huge strides in reducing the amount of waste
returning to thelandfill by recycling and compos�ng every day and
especially a�er churchfunc�onsSt. Paul’s has saved at least $3,000
a year by switching to City of Cedar Rapidsgarbage pick- up and no
longer paying for a private removal serviceSt. Paul’s youth helped
gather leaves and yard waste over the last year to becomposted
instead of adding to the landfill as in the pastYou can make a big
difference too! Most of us are good about recycling paper andplas�c
but if you live in Cedar Rapids, you can compost most food scraps,
withexcep�on of meat, like potato or banana peels and even used
paper products, suchas napkins, along with your other yard waste in
your city provided “yardy.”
