To the Vestry, Choir, Staff and Parishioners of St. Paul’s,
Thank you, one and all, for helping to make my transition to St. Paul’s and Nantucket so welcoming. Being greeted by helping hands upon arrival with my belongings this past Tuesday was not only heartwarming, but very appreciative, making the move into the cottage beyond easy. In addition, the food and treats provided by Nancy Jane hit the proverbial spot after the journey from Indiana.
I am looking forward to being on island “for good” on May 22
nd
and to becoming part of the St. Paul’s family.
Warmest regards,
Joe Hammer

St Paul’s Needlepoint Rug 2018
It is exciting this year to dedicate our beautiful rug to George Fowlkes with love and appreciation. George has been a dedicated stitcher of many rugs for years and has stitched several glorious pieces of needlepoint for St Paul’s .the lovely piano bench and also underwrote and stitched with others the needlepoint rug of the beautiful tiffany windows over the altar.
Our nine wonderful devoted stichers this year are Yvette St. Jean, Caroline Ellis, Jeanette Fowlkes, Sheila Daume, Nancy Bills, Bay McClure, Mary Jo Beck, Eugenie Voorhees and Penny Macintyre. I am truly grateful to all of them for their many hours of stitching !! The rug will be on Main St in June thru the summer.
This yearly fundraising project and its success is dependent on the generous underwriting from our parishioners . Please consider supporting us … please make notation that your donation is for the needlepoint project .
Thank you
Sheila Daume
