1 Lent.A.2017
Children’s Homily
The Rev. Melanie McCarley

Welcome. The children are invited to come and have a seat with me.

As you can see, we’ve begun a new season at church. Lent! There are lots of symbols we associate with this holy season. Can you name some of them?

(the color purple, crown of thorns, palm branches, a bag of silver coins to symbolize Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, nails)

Julie Tittler

Alternate Delegate to Diocesan Convention

Julie Tittler and her family are relatively recent additions to St. Paul’s; however she comes to us with a wealth of experience in the Episcopal Church. Prior to the Tittler Family’s move to Dedham, Julie served as Senior Warden and Clerk of the Vestry of Trinity Church, Canton. Julie and her children Peter and Isabelle sing in St. Paul’s Adult and Children’s Choirs. Her husband, Andrew, is a thoughtful voice at book and topical discussion groups. Julie owns her own company and is working to develop software applications.

Astrid Mackenzie

Warden

Astrid Mackenzie and her husband Ian relocated to the US from Australia in 1995, at the start of a gloriously snowy winter. They were members of a parish on the south shore for several years, but after moving back to Boston, they and their sons Kyle and Aidan joined St. Paul’s in 2007. Astrid taught church school classes when her children were small, and has been singing with the choir for almost a decade. She also serves as a lector, and coordinates the acolyte program.
