St Paul’s Needlepoint Rug 2018
While the winds are blowing and the ferries not going, our loyal and hardworking needle pointers have been busily stitching away on this summer’s rug. This yearly project is an important component of the annual fundraising for St. Paul’s. And it’s success is very much improved by the generous underwriting from our parishioners. Please consider supporting us; please make a notation that your donation is for the needlepoint project. Thank you.

Laundry Love
St. Paul’s Outreach Committee hosted its 5th monthly “free laundry” event at Holdgates Laundromat on March 14. Providing each patron tickets good for four loads of laundry, we assisted around 20 families at a cost of $475 in washer and dryer fees. Particular thanks to Pat Dick, her granddaughter Julie, and Abby Chase who ably filled in for Vicky Goss and Lucy Bixby while they were in Cuba.
The Committee plans to hold its 6
th
monthly free laundry event at Holdgates Laundromat on Wednesday, April 11th, between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm.
If you know someone who would benefit from being able to wash and dry their laundry without cost, please advise them of the April 1th date and time.
