The visioning team for the Episcopal Diocese of Newark is meeting with congregations across the diocese to hear about what is important to each community. We will be hosting our listening session on Wednesday, November 30. A light supper will be provided. Please RSVP so that we know how much food is needed.

Thank you to everyone who donated canned goods for the Interfaith Food pantry last month. Last week we dropped off about 50 cans of tomato products, plus soups and other canned goods. Their Thanksgiving Basket Program is now fully underway. For a list of what they are collecting, please click the button below.

Calling all youth - please save the date: Friday, December 16 we will have pizza and be making cookies! We are reviving a tradition of creating gifts to deliver to some of the seniors in our parish who are unable to get out of their homes.

In addition, some of the cookies will be sold at the Cookie Walk on December 17th. A few adult facilitators would be welcome as well. Hope to see you in the Undercroft at 6:00 p.m.! Any questions, please contact Susan Fuller.

An updated Parish Directory will be published in early 2023. Please email the Parish Office at stpaulsmp@optonline.net use the pencils in your pew to fill out the following and return to an usher:



Name • street address • city • state • zip code • preferred method of contact • phone number • e-mail address

Thank you to the Cub Scouts for raking leaves at St. Paul’s on November 26! They have also done a great job of collecting canned goods for the Interfaith Food Pantry, and have raised $902 in donations.

Let’s assist Table of Hope with their holiday gift drive! They have the names of almost 550 children that they hope to provide with gifts. We will have gift tags at the back of the church for you to choose, or you can contact Lynn Schuenzel at (973) 255-8717 for a tag, Please deliver gifts, unwrapped, to St Paul’s no later than Sunday, December 4th. Please attach tag (or include the tag number on gift cards) so that your gift can be matched with a child.

Join the St. Paul’s book club! For December, we are reading James Patterson and Tad Safran’s The Twelve Topsy-Turvy Very Messy Days of Christmas. We will meet via Zoom on Wednesday, December 14, at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome! A link to the event will be sent closer to the date.

Our 2023 Stewardship campaign has launched! You can read all about it on the giving page on our website. Click below for more details!
