Manna Pantry
Friday, May 20, 3-5 PM
Saturday, May 21, 9:30 AM - 12 noon
We need additional helpers to pack and move boxes at our next Manna Pantry. Manna Pantry at Saint Paul's Church provides a box of food six times a year to those in our community who need this supplemental assistance. Food is ordered from Golden Harvest Food Bank and is delivered to Saint Paul's on Friday evening. Manna Pantry volunteers unload the truck, organize the food, and assemble boxes for recipients Friday evening from 3-5 PM. Recipients are registered and served on Saturday morning. Volunteers also help carry boxes to the cars. Families with children and youth are welcome to join parishioners of all ages serving this ministry. For more information or to volunteer,
contact Anita Tanner

 ARE YOU A
CURIOUS
EPISCOPALIAN?
Well, of course you are. Aren't we all! But are you curious about the bible? What it is and what it is not; what the scholars do and do not know about it. Are you curious about the history, tradition and theological development of the church? Are you ready to debunk myths and move beyond children's bible stories? Are you ready to GROW and LEARN to integrate knowledge and faith into your daily life?
Briefly, what is EfM? It is an adult Christian formation program of the Episcopal Church of study, prayer, and reflection in a small group setting that helps participants grow in knowledge and in faith-connecting both in how they live as Christians in the world. The course spans the entire sweep of the Christian tradition from the earliest period to the present: Scripture, ethics, theology, church history, worship, and spirituality. The curriculum is comprised of four "years" of thirty-six week cycles of group meetings led by one or two mentors. The new "year" will begin in late August or early September. There are between five and six openings in the Sunday night group that meets from 6:45 and 9:00 PM; however, if there is sufficient interest a new weekday group may be formed that meets at Saint Paul's between 9:30 and noon.
NEXT STEPS:
Look for members of Saint Paul's EfM Group at an information table in the narthex (or on the porch) immediately before and after the 11:00 service and following the 5:30 service during the month of May. Also,
Fr. Jenkins and
Suzanne Crotteau, who both serve as group mentors, welcome your inquiries.
