Also Sunday, October 27
4:30 PM, in the Nave
Giving is at the heart of God's life, and so the practice of giving is at the very heart of our faith and of loving God, neighbor, and self.
Every person who participates in the life and community of Saint Paul's Church is invited to attend one stewardship gathering. At the gatherings, we will have conversations about faith and "the practice of giving." These conversations aim to enlarge our definition of "giving" well beyond traditional categories of money or talent. We also will discuss how our shared practice of giving will shape the future of our church. A new kind of "pledge card" will be distributed at the gatherings.
Our message is encouraging, faithful, and very hopeful, so please choose today which session you will attend.
In Christ and with gratitude,
Brad Sandbach, Chair
Fr. Jenkins, Chaplain

GODLY PLAY

We take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.

Blessing Blankets" -
GOLD Award Project, Girl Scout's pinnacle achievement for
Gwen Friedman, high-school senior and active Saint Paul's parishioner
Now until Sunday, October 20
Collection boxes located in Tyler Hall and Narthex
In Girl Scouting, the GOLD Award is highest level of achievement that recognizes extraordinary leadership in the successful execution of project that has a high and sustainable impact. My GOLD project is to make blankets--Blessing Blankets--for children in our community who experience traumatic events. Working through local law enforcement, children will receive a blanket to provide warmth and a tangible symbol of security and hope given in love. At this stage of the project, I am collecting materials and supplies and raising funds for material and supplies.
I invite your participation, my church family, in this project. There are three ways to support me in this work:
1 - Include this project in your daily prayers, for its successful completion and for the children who will receive the blankets.
2 - Contribute any UN-used blanket fabrics, scraps, or quilt batting. I have placed collection boxes in Tyler Hall and the Narthex.
Thank you for your attention and support,
Gwen Friedman
