History Day 2015
The Bicentennial Committee of North Carolina’s three Episcopal dioceses is sponsoring History Day 2015 on Saturday, April 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at St. Augustine’s University in Raleigh.
“A Calculated Leap: Black Episcopal Missions, Schools, and Bishops, 1865-1918” will survey the post-Civil War era when the Episcopal Church in North Carolina had no precedents to follow for ministry among the newly emancipated people within its bounds.
The Rev. Harold T. Lewis, nationally noted priest, historian and author, will set the wider Episcopal Church context. The origins and development of three black Episcopal churches that endure today will be traced by Wade Chestnut (St. Mark’s, Wilmington); the Rev. Jim Abbott (St. Matthias’s, Asheville); and the Rev. Brooks Graebner (St. Titus’s, Durham). Tours of historic institutions on the St. Augustine’s campus and a reception at St. Ambrose’s Church will complete the day. “Make it a Weekend” options are also available.
History Day 2015 is co-sponsored by St. Augustine’s University and St. Ambrose’s Church in Raleigh. Program and registration details are available at www.dionc.org under “Events” or from Lynn Hoke, Project Archivist, at history@episdionc.org or (919) 602-4305.

Vacation Bible School
Monday, July 27 through Friday, July 31
For students in PreK through 4th grade
The theme for this year’s Vacation Bible School is “G-Force - God’s love in action!”
In years past, with a prepared curriculum and guidance from the Children’s Ministry staff, VBS has been run almost entirely by volunteers. But this year, the need for volunteer help is especially critical.
If our search for a new Director of Children’s Ministries proceeds on schedule, our new staff member will still be learning the ropes in late July, when VBS takes place.
To support St. Paul’s Children’s Ministries and help our new Director make this year’s VBS a success, please demonstrate God’s love in action by using this link to volunteer. Child care will be provided for volunteers’ children who are not old enough to participate.
