| Food Pantry PIE-BAKING |
|
We will be preparing "home baked" pies for the
Food Pantry's Thanksgiving food distribution.
Last year, St. Paul's provided over 40 pies. To help
us reach--or break!--that number, join us in baking
apple and pumpkin pies on
Saturday, November 18.
We will begin baking at 9:00 AM
in the Parish Hall and we welcome anyone to join us throughout the morning. This will be a come and go event, so even if you can only spare an hour you are welcome to join in on the fun! Children are also welcome to come and work with their parents on the baking. If you want to help, but can't make it for the Saturday group baking we are also accepting homemade pies. If you are interested in joining the Baking crew or willing to make a pie at home, please contact Nancy Randall at
[email protected]

We pray for those serving in our Armed Forces, especially Luke Heier, nephew of Barbara Millen, who is serving in the Special Forces in the Philippines.
We remember, O Lord, all those who have served in our Armed Forces and commend them to you for their bravery, their patriotism, and their honor. We ask that those who serve our country today may be kept in your everlasting love and that comfort and encouragement might be given to their families. We pray for peace and ask that your holy will might prevail among all people, and your name be exalted forever.
We pray for those who have died, especially Elizabeth Hanger Lippincott and R. Schuyler Lippincott, in whose memory the flowers on the altar and the Jane Clark Table are given this Sunday.
We pray for peace in the war-torn region of Syria and for all who have lost homes and loved ones due to violence throughout the world.
We pray for our Bishops Alan Gates and Gayle Harris.
Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated.
