Announcements

​ YOUR FAITH, YOUR LIFE…
An Invitation to the Episcopal Church!!
It is not too late to join us! We began on last Sunday, Please feel free to get some food and bring to class. In preparing for this class, I did not even finish reading the Preface and Introduction of the book to see the GEM that this book is for those who would like to know more about the Episcopal Church, and then decided if they do indeed want to join as a member of St. Paul’s, AND it is an excellent REFRESHER resource for those who have either been “cradle Episcopalians” or those who joined later on. Therefore, I HIGHLY recommend you sign up for the class TODAY. The Sign up sheets are in the entrance to the church

Thanks and another opportunity
Thanks to everyone who helped in the first of the two Thanksgiving Baskets Downtown signup days yesterday. We’ll be doing this again this coming Saturday. If you’d like to volunteer for this or any other opportunities to sort, shift, move and deliver, please go to https://www.thanksgivingbasketscanton.org/ and sign up. Also, St. Paul’s is collecting boxes and bags of mashed potatoes. Please bring them to church and leave them in the box in the Narthex, or contribute a check made out to Thanksgiving Baskets Downtown.  Thanks, as always, for your support of a truly ecumenical (and energizing) effort that serves some 1,200 families in Stark County.
