FUNDING THE FAIR
GOOD NEWS
Again this year, KIDSTREET with its children’s games, crafts and activities will be FREE for all children on the Island.
BETTER NEWS
KIDSTREET has been fully funded by a generous grant from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.
BAD NEWS
We still need to cover the expenses for the rest of the Fair – food, drinks, supplies, rental equipment, advertising, etc.
GREAT NEWS
YOU can help underwrite the Fair. Every dollar helps. Please write a check to St. Paul’s Church, marked for St. Paul’s Fair, put in the collection plate, drop it off or mail to the Church Office at 20 Fair St.
BEST NEWS YET
You can make this happen. Do your FAIR SHARE!

Our Deacon Goes To General Convention
Deacon Susan will go to Austin, Texas in July as a Diocese of Delaware Alternate Delegate to the Episcopal Church's General Convention. People from seventeen countries gather to make decisions through the
consideration of resolutions brought forth from ongoing work since the last convention in 2015 and resolutions written anew. Intensive committee work occurs to consider these resolutions before they are brought to vote by the House of Bishops (200 + people) and the House of Deputies (880 people). The General Convention sets the mission priorities, budget and policies of The Episcopal Church for the next three years. It approves changes to the Church's Constitution and Canons, and broadly defines the standards of worship. Eighteen-hour days are the norm with work, worship, and some partying. She hopes to have a mental health resolution (CO34) passed as a follow-up to the one passed in 2015. All are looking forward to the messages from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry (of royal wedding fame) as he leads the spread and work of the Jesus Movement.
