Neige encore à Paris!

This was taken years ago at the American Cathedral in Paris. Today as Paris is still dealing with flooding along the Seine, they are getting another snowfall. I am so jealous!

Sunday Church Series - The American Cathedral in Paris

The residence of the Dean of the Cathedral is located above the enclosed courtyard. I always enjoy attending services there when I visit Paris. This trip, Mary and I will be attending a mass at Notre Dame de Paris as we will be meeting Vincent Dubois, one of the organists. I am hoping to be able to photograph him play during the mass. He will be playing a recital at Independent Presbyterian Church here in February. 

Sunday Church Series - Boys Will Be Boys

After services at The American Cathedral in Paris, visitors are welcomed in the back of the sanctuary for coffee and cookies. I always enjoy getting to speak with members of the congregation and the ministers. Meanwhile, these two were a bit tired of being bons garçons and had a little fun.

Sunday Church Series - Baisser les yeux

I often preach that you should always look UP in Paris. When visiting The American Cathedral in Paris, you need to do that in order to view the beautiful flags of the states. After that, have a look down at the beautifully patterned marble floor.

The American Cathedral in Paris. Located on Avenue George V, it is one of my favorite churches in Paris. I have attended services here several times. It is a beautiful and welcoming church.

The American Cathedral in Paris is a beautiful and welcoming church in Paris. The services are in English and I've worshiped there often.

The American Cathedral in Paris welcomes visitors each Sunday by serving cookies and coffee in the back of the sanctuary following the church service.  I've worshipped there on two occasions and and always enjoyed the service and getting to meet the members and clergy.

Today I join James' Weekend Reflections right here!

Serendipity

What are the chances that it would snow in Paris over the weekend AND that Belle Inspiration Magazine would publish a group of my Paris in the Snow photos at the same time?  To celebrate, I decided to share one of the photographs they featured, the courtyard of The American Cathedral in Paris during a delightful snowfall in January 2010.  If you want to see some nice photographs from this weekend's snow, slide on over to Peter's Paris and have a look at his!

Merci to Belle Inspiration's editor Mimi Bleu for sending along this peek at my photos!

Un Dimanche Très Spécial á Paris - The American Cathedral

American Cathedral in Paris

This last trip to Paris I once again attended Sunday services at the beautiful American Cathedral in Paris. You might recall that I worshipped there in January as well. This day was a special one for me as I was able to hear Canon Jon Huyck give his last sermon. He and his wife and adorable baby son will be returning to the states as he will be the new Rector at Grace Church in Providence, RI. We met Canon Huyck last January after the service, and what a warm and friendly young man he was! That wasn't the only highlight that morning. The Lector for the service was revered American actress Olivia de Havilland, who now lives in Paris. She is still a beautiful, elegant woman, and her deep rich voice still strong as she read the Scripture. Un dimanche très spécial á Paris!
