COME TO A FALL STEWARDSHIP GATHERING | | |

Come to a fall Stewardship Gathering! These gatherings are designed to be fun, community-building events where we can spend a little time with one another, have something to eat and drink, and talk about stewardship. In particular, we'll be making connections between how the gifts we present to God support the vital ministries at Saint Paul's.
All stewardship gatherings will take place in the Berlin Room, and we ask that you let us know which gathering you plan to attend by signing up on SignUp Genius. The dates and times are as follows.
Tuesday. Nov. 12 12:00 A light lunch will be provided
Thursday Nov. 14 5:30 Beverages and hors d'oeuvres
Sunday Nov. 17 12:30 A light lunch will be provided *
Tuesday Nov. 19 5:30 Beverages and hors d'oeuvres
