OCTOBER IS CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP MONTH
Our Food Pantry needs your help. We are once again asking our parishioners to bring food to church every Sunday, and we're going to try something new. Each month we will ask for donations of a particular nutritious food that we offer to our clients. Chicken noodle soup is one of the most requested foods we offer. So each Sunday in October, please bring a can or two or three of chicken noodle soup.
November will be tuna fish month, and in December we'll collect donations of canned beef stew.
Please don't forget to bring chicken noodle soup next Sunday and for the next three Sundays after that. The basket will be back in the narthex and will be brought to the altar for blessing.
Thank you.
Consecration Sunday: November 11th
We will complete our pledges in church and take them to the altar to be blessed. Remember only one service at 10:00am that day. We want everyone to be present and to enjoy a catered lunch following the service. It's only 4 weeks away. Pray about your pledge. Ask for God's guidance as you decide how much to give to St. Paul's. Give thanks for your blessings.
RSVP for this Saturday!
