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

On Wednesday, April 11, 2018, St. Paul’s held its sixth “free laundry” event at Holdgate’s Laundromat. This outreach effort, suggested by Kathy Baird and initiated by our former Rector, was staffed by members of StP’s Outreach Committee, ably assisted by Pat Dick.
In the event’s two hour window – 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm – on a sunny day, 15 patrons of the Laundromat washed and dried their laundry at a cost to StP of $377.
The seventh monthly event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 9
