Help Keep Camp Spirit Going !
Have you heard about Camp Spirit? In it's ninth(!) year, Camp Spirit is St. Paul's version of Vacation Bible School - a week-long day camp that engages young minds in an exploration of the Holy Spirit - right here at St. Paul's. Last year, Camp Spirit touched 48 children and youth - most of whom were scholarship campers from St. Luke's or were un-churched community kids. While this ministry is a valuable and vital part of our Episcopal evangelism, it cannot happen without the support of volunteers. We are looking for adults and teens to serve in a variety of roles during the week of Camp Spirit - July 24-28. Please consider how your talents may contribute to another successful year of camp! If you are unable to share your time and talent for the week of camp, we also welcome donations to support our scholarship program - tuition for one camper is $100. INFO: Robin Taylor, taylorr@stpaulcathedral.org
Sunday School Volunteers Needed
Wondering how your unique gifts might bless the Cathedral community? We are seeking volunteers to serve our children and youth as Christian educators on Sundays. INFO: Visit our table in the Courtyard, or email Robin Taylor, taylorr@stpaulcathedral.org
