"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

As we enter the wilderness of Lent: A Spa for the Soul
Absolutely everyone is welcome to The Episcopal Church of St. Paul's, Chatham to hear the Rev'd Dr. Paul Smith, the former Senior Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, NY, who is an educator, author, civil rights veteran and activist.
Dr. Smith has also created unique and successful models of multi-cultural worship and interfaith collaboration at churches in Buffalo, NY, Atlanta, GA and St. Louis, MO.
Following his sermons at the 8 and 10 AM services, Dr. Smith and his wife Fran, along with one of their daughters and a few of their grandchildren, will describe their thoughts and feelings as three generations of their family attended the Inauguration of President Barack Obama.
