Need Treasures for the Gift Chalet
The Gift Chalet is our high-end specialty shop
that offers beautiful china and crystal, fine silver
items, pretty glass pieces as well as fine linens.
If you are downsizing, moving, cleaning out,
opening up and discover that you do not have
a place for some of your fine pieces any longer,
please donate to St. Paul’s what you do not want but is still useable, and resalable.
Hodge Podge still needs your contribution but
this would be every day items in good repair.
We do not accept clothing, electrical appliances,
damaged or broken goods.
Leave donations on the bench in the Parish House.
If needed call the Church office (508-228-0916) for
a pick up or information about your contribution.
Thanks for your generosity and the many things
you have already brought in for the Fair.
Tax receipts are available on request.

Flowers on Sunday
When we think about providing flowers for the altar for Sunday services, we generally think of making them a memorial to someone. But have you considered honoring a living loved one such as a graduating son, daughter or grandchild? Your own wedding anniversary or birthday, or that of a friend or relative? A neighbor’s baptism, confirmation, wedding? How about someone’s current achievement (good grades, sports feat, business success)? The possibilities are numerous and varied for providing the altar flowers for many weeks of the year. Your flowers keep on giving joy throughout the following days as they are recreated into smaller arrangements and delivered by Church members to various homebound folks needing cheer. Providing flowers for the altar on Sunday is one of the easiest forms of creative ministry. Please call Christine at the Office, 508-228-0916, to schedule your gift of flowers.
