Throughout October, look for a series of messages from the Stewardship Committee that reflect on Jesus' teachings about money as well as personal statements from families and individuals about giving. These reflections and statements invite all of us to consider anew the meaning of Christ-centered stewardship. We will begin asking for your 2019 financial commitment after the Feast of All Saints' Day, November 1st.
"When considering the lives we lead, we must remember everything we have or own essentially is a gift from the Lord. John 3:16 tells us that "God so loved the world that HE gave..." Regardless of how large or small the amount, we commit to giving because it is our responsibility as Christians. We offer our gifts, not because we are forced to give, or because we feel guilty, but because it is the right thing to do. By giving, we are supporting Saint Paul's, which in turn supports the spiritual well being of so many in the CSRA and beyond. By giving, we are expressing our appreciation for all the blessings received from our Lord."
- Sara and Kevin Ratcliffe

We are pleased to announce Barbara Coleman has accepted a nomination to fill the open position on the Vestry. Barbara will complete the unexpired term of Allen Harison, who because of increased business and family commitments, resigned this summer.
Barbara recently retired from AU's Hull College of Business where she was associate dean for many years. She is happy to have time now to participate in EfM as well as chair the Evangelism Committee. She first joined Saint Paul's Church in 1974 and is honored to serve on the Vestry.

GODLY PLAY -- 4s to 8, Kindergarten thru 2nd grade
Leaders: Kim Butler & Ivey Coleman
Location: Godly Play Room, Children's Ministry Center
We take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.
