Smoked Turkeys: The Men’s Group is selling their annual smoked turkeys. Tickets are available for purchase in the office from a member of the Men’s Group or online. If purchasing online please choose Men’s Group for the fund and put Turkey in the memo line. Turkeys will be available for pick up at the church on Saturday, November 20th from 8:00 am to 10:30 am.
Church Secretary Position: When Tymina accepted her position here at St. Paul’s, she was needing part-time work, but her situation has changed and so she has accepted a full-time position with McLaughlin Dermatology Clinic. It is a wonderful opportunity for her and we wish her well. Her last day here will be October 27th. This creates an opening in our office; if you know of anyone who might be interested in a part-time position, please have them send their resume to Fr. Jim at fathermcdonald@gmail.com.
All Saints Day: All Saints Day will be celebrated on Sunday, November 7th. An important part of this celebration will be the remembrance of those from our families, our parish and our community who have died. If you wish to remember someone with a memorial gift, please make your contribution by Monday, November 1st so their name will be included in our bulletin. These gifts may be made online by going to stpaulsbatesville.org and using the secure online giving portal. Please choose Memorial Fund and note the name(s) of whom you wish to remember in the memo line. You may also call or email the office with names you wish to add.
Giving Statements: September Giving Statements will be available in the Narthex again this Sunday. If you have any questions regarding statements please call or email the office.

Join the families of St. Paul's and First Presbyterian as we have a Trunk or Treat at 3:00 pm on the afternoon of Halloween (October 31st). Cars or tables will be in the parking spaces on the College Street side of First Presbyterian. Everyone is invited to come set up and share treats with the kids!
