1. ST. PAUL'S TONIGHT: Come see me being silly!

On Saturday,  May 2, at 7:00pm, and Sunday, May 3, at 3:00pm, I'll be wearing a very short poodle skirt and leading a cast of fellow crazy Episcopalians in a tribute to the music and culture of the 1950s.


  • Your favorite tunes, from Bill Haley to Elvis Presley!
  • Men's synchronized swimming!
  • Terrible vintage commercials!
  • A real rock-and-roll band!


It's a ton of fun: what we may lack in skill, we more than make up for in enthusiasm and joy. Tickets are $10; all proceeds support the ministries and programs of St. Paul's.

COME SEE US!

ST. PAUL'S TONIGHT: ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK.
Saturday, May 2, 7:00pm
Sunday, May 3, 3:00pm
Tickets $10 at the door
John Glenn Middle School auditorium, 99 McMahon Road, Bedford, MA 01730.

Friends in Bedford/Burlington/Billerica and all other B and non-B town in Massachusetts: Come to Flatbread in Bedford tomorrow night, March 10, for a Benefit Night for my church's upcoming mission trip to West Virginia with Appalachia Service Project.

7. Hodie Christus natus est

Lights, please.


And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"

That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
