First Friday Concert 9/4/26 - Lee Knitter

The fifth series of First Friday Concerts at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1000 Michigan Ave., La Porte, will begin Sept. 4 at 12:10 p.m.

The 2026-27 series will kick off with Lee Knitter, who has been a musician for more than 30 years. His focus is bringing the Gospel to the community through music, singing and playing acoustic guitar. He primarily sings gospel music at assisted living, nursing homes and rehab facilities. He also performs country and folk music.

St. Paul's is handicap-accessible through the Harrison Street entrance and is air-conditioned. The audience is encouraged to bring their lunch for the half-hour program. There is no charge, but there is a free-will offering box to sustain the concerts.

Our October concert will be Organist, John Gouwens.

The Path: A Journey Through the Bible-Readings Included

The Path: A Journey Through the Bible - Have you ever been curious about what it would be like to read the entire Holy Bible, cover to cover, and then felt overwhelmed by it all? Even I feel that way! Recently I learned about a book that is a collection of stories from the Bible that walks us through the journey from creation (Genesis) to second coming predictions (Revelation), focusing on the key stories alone. It is called The Path: A Journey Through the Bible and I am inviting you to join me on this journey for 24 weeks this summer and fall.

If you’d like to purchase the book (paperback or Kindle), you may do so via the link above. However, as each chapter is gathering of Scripture, I intend to send those passages to you in a separate weekly email that will arrive in your inbox Sunday midday for 24 weeks beginning 5/31. The timing will allow us to complete this journey before Advent. What a great opportunity to increase of Biblical knowledge with whatever level of engagement works for you!

Here is how you can engage:

  • Read the weekly email and reflect upon the Scripture.

  • Consider the questions, which will be in the email and also posted on Facebook.

  • Engage in Facebook conversation about the questions.

  • Join us on Thursday mornings for a deeper study and conversation.

  • Discuss the questions as a topic at coffee hour.

  • Invite someone you know who might like to learn more about the Bible.

  • Host a discussion group.

  • Any other creative ideas you can come up with.

I’m thrilled to be taking this journey of deeper knowledge of the Bible WITH you. If you could like a physical copy of the book, the Bible, or both please let me know (priest@stpaulslaporte.org). I’m happy to get that for you. Let’s start The Path, together!

Blessings,
Mother Michelle Walker
Priest in Charge
