Programs at St. Paul's

From your warden:
· If you have used batteries, please leave them in the bag in the coat room to be taken to the landfill.
· There is a box in the coat room to collect eye glasses to be given to the Lion’s Club. Drop off your old and unwanted glasses so they can be put to good use.

We do fun things like crafts, dinners out, garden parties, making quilts for children in need, collecting toys and stuffed animals at Christmas for needy children etc. etc. the list is endless. If you have been inactive and want to join us please do. All you have to do is show up on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall. New ideas are always welcome.

The Grass is Growing and we NEED your help!
The St. Paul’s Lawn Mowing ministry is now gladly, even gleefully take applications at this time. We have a brand new lawn mower, self propelled and mulching so need to clean up! Can you stop by once or twice this summer and mow the lawn of your fair church? Sign up sheet will be in the entry of the church with dates so you can claim the best one for you. And we thank you.

Special Summer Musical Event
Drumming Worship Workshop
Sunday, August 22nd 4 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.

Here it is, your chance to beat out the rhythm of your faith! Paula Giroux and Melissa Moon will be leading a special afternoon filled with the sounds of percussion, drums, triangles, tambourines and special rattles. Bring your drum (singles only, no Trap sets please) and let’s bang on our drums and enjoy the summer evening in an exciting and energizing way. It is not necessary to own an instrument to attend this workshop, but it helps. Please call the Parish Office or Paula to sign up for this; we need to know how many are coming (instruments and people.)

We’re searching high and low for YOU!
Do you like to meet new people? Are you friendly and outgoing? Do you love St. Paul’s and want everyone to know what a great place it is? Then we have a golden opportunity for you. Be a GREETER! You will be assigned a set of Sundays to stay at the entry to the church with the ushers and just say hi to everyone who comes in. Easy, fun, rewarding-and amazingly important to new people who come to check us out. Please call the Parish office if you are willing to be a part of this important work-748-8118.
