Rector's Notes

Please mark your calendar, for September 15 & 16.  We will have an ordination at 2 p.m. on the 15th (see below) we will not have a service at 5 p.m. on Saturday or 8 a.m. on Sunday.  The newly ordained person will be celebrating for the first time at the 10:30 Holy Eucharist on Sunday, September 16th.  The Rt. Rev'd & Dean Neil Alexander will be our preacher that day. I hope everyone who normally comes to the two cancelled services will come to the 10:30 service on the 16th.  I also hope many of you will join in the celebration of the ordination on Saturday the 15th at 2 p.m.

Volunteers Needed
WE NEED YOU!
There are two urgent needs for volunteers.  
1) We need a someone to be a regular "manager" for the Wednesday night Sr. Commodity Pick up session from 5:30-7:30.  This is an established program, it just needs someone to be a regular presence. 
2) On Saturday, September 15
we need some helpers for the 8:30-noonish, Emergency Food Distribution distribution.  Several of our regular volunteers are out and we need a good staff this Saturday morning because we need to get done before the Ordination event starts getting busy around here.  Contact Melissa for more info and/or to let her know you are coming

Hosting Coffee Hour is a fun and easy way to get to know other St. Paul's members! The host brings the food and the church provides the drinks. An example of what a host might bring would be: two large pans of brownies (cut very small), maybe a bowl of fruit (oftentimes grapes cut into small clusters), and a bowl or two of pretzels or popcorn. If you have questions or wish to co-host with another member, please contact  Alison.  Dates are available.

The North-Central-Metro Youth Network  is an organized group of churches who find additional opportunities for Christian fellowship fun!  These activities are found on the  youth ministry calendar .   This event is for all the youth of the Metro, including our St. Paul's Youth.  Please register using the blue link below to join in the fun.

For Other Upcoming Youth Activities :  

check WEMOYouth  for more details
 
As always, if you'd like to stay connected with what is happening with youth ministry in our network and diocese, please check out our Youth Network Facebook site.
