GOLDY PLAY REFLECTION RESULTS
From last week's meeting with families from Godly Play, we have some transitions in our morning youth programs. With our overall program continuing to grow in size, we will divide the youth by ages into three groups:
-
The PreK-2nd grade group will have a curriculum focusing on Godly Play and will meet in the Godly Play Room.
-
The 2nd-5th grade group will have more instruction-based focus and will meet in the Fireside Room.
-
The 5th-8th grade group is using the Journey to Adulthood, Rite 13 program and will meet in the Guild Room.
For more information about children and youth programming, contact Contact Christine D'Amico at 619-298-7261 or damicoc@stpaulcathedral.org

NEW BOOK by The Rev. John Bingham Rev. Bingham, who was on staff here at St. Paul's with Jack Sanford in the early 70's, has just published his second book. With the title God and Dreams: Is There a Connection? it discusses how today's religious writing often ignores dreams and their spiritual dimension and instead focuses on the biological and quantitative function of dreams. God and Dreams challenges the current orthodoxy of both religious and secular perspectives by arguing that dreams do indeed come from God.
25th ANNIVERSARY BEGINS - This year marks the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of St. Paul's being designated as the Cathedral for the Diocese of San Diego on January 27, 1985, twelve years after the creation of the diocese, which had originally been part of the Diocese of Los Angeles.
