We need additional helpers to pack and move boxes at our next Manna Pantry May 19 and 20 in Tyler Hall. 

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 4:00 - 5:30 PM. Recipients are registered and served on Saturday morning from 9:30 AM - 12:00 noon. Volunteers also help carry boxes to the cars. Families with children and youth are encouraged to join parishioners of all ages serving this ministry. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Anita Tanner.

EYCS Offering  
Sunday, May 21
On Senior Sunday we will collect an offering for EYCS.  Episcopal Youth & Children's Services is a unique organization in the Diocese of Georgia  that provides need-based college scholarships for undergraduates and financial assistance for children who might otherwise not be able to go to Summer Camp at Honey Creek, the Episcopal Camp & Conference Center of the Diocese of Georgia.  To date, the EYCS Trust has provided over $1,000,000 in college scholarships for over a thousand youth of the diocese, and in just the past few years, has given over $40,000 to allow hundreds of children the chance to attend summer camp. Several Saint Paul's youth have been recipients of this scholarship.  To make a donation, please make your checks payable to Saint Paul's and note your gift to EYCS.

John Jenkins for more information.
