Guest Organist
This weekend, Alan Wittrup will be joining us to rehearse with the choir and provide music for the service on Sunday.
After completing his Master's Degree in piano, Alan played organ for churches in the Washington D.C. area, worked with various theater and opera companies, accompanied singers and choruses, composed, arranged, recorded, and taught privately and at universities. His alternate career in computers took him to Europe for 18 years where his musical participation slowed but did not stop. He retired from computers and returned to the US a couple years ago to live in Scituate, MA
with his wife Shannon and two teenaged sons, where he is resuming his musical activities and attempting to finish the book he has been toying with for decades.

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

HELP WANTED
The Fair date has been set –
Thursday, July 12
– but some of the key leadership jobs to make this year’s Fair happen and a success are open.
Gift Chalet
Join the team to run our most popular event, the sale of the best of the best gifts, art and antiques. Organize, price, stage and sell those special items. Set up begins around June 20.
Hodge Podge
Manage and organize the “everything” area - household items, sporting goods, a little of this and a little of that.
Silent Auction
Everyone can help with this. Do you have (or know someone who does) tickets to a sports event, a concert or a special occasion? If you have special skill or service (landscaping, computer consulting, counseling, catering, etc.), will you donate an hour or two of it? Do you know a restaurant owner who might donate a gift certificate for dinner, a boat owner who might agree to take someone on an hour’s sail, a chef who would give a cooking lesson, or a golfer who would donate a round of golf at one of the clubs (VERY POPULAR ITEM). Do you have (or know someone who does) a vacation home, condo, or cottage at which you could donate a week’s stay? Do you have a great idea for an auction item we haven’t thought of?
Please everyone help out on this.
How big, how small, how successful the 2018 Fair will depend on volunteers – it depends on you.
Contact Sharon Robinson (zeeeturtle@aol.com) or Dottie Gennaro (dbgennaro@gmail.com) or the Church office.
