GIVE NEW LIFE TO YOUR TOYS,
TOOLS AND SPORTS EQUIPMENT
St. Paul’s Fair is dependent on the congregation to make donations to the Gift Chalet and Hodge Podge, two fund raising sections of the Fair. Your gently used toys, puzzles, trucks, dolls, outgrown sports equipment, etc. are great donations for Hodge Podge, the yard sale section. We also take garden and workshop tools that are in good repair and resalable. Household items are also collected, such as linens, bath and kitchen item, etc.
The Gift Chalet also needs you donations but it is in need of beautiful items for the home or special accent pieces.
So if you are doing any cleaning out or opening up, please keep your eyes open for tools, toys, sports equipment, etc. that can be used as a donation. Please place items on the bench in the Parish House.
If you have questions, need help or need a pick up, call Christine at the Church Office, 508-228-0916. Leave your name and number or email address and you will be contacted.
Thanks for your help

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.
