The BIG Picture
...at St. Paul's

Want to learn more about the 200 year history of the Ohio Diocese?  We have invited the Rev. Dr. Brian Wilbert, Diocesan Archivist, to speak at St. Paul's on Wednesday, August 2nd, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in Guild Hall. He will cover some of the fascinating highlights from the 200 year history of the Ohio Diocese that should prove interesting to all.  Following the presentation there will be an ice cream bar and time for follow-up questions and fellowship.  Mark your calendars and plan to attend.
