New Directory: We are in the final stages of printing directories and making them available to the congregation. Several members are being contacted for permission to make a change to their privacy settings in Realm (our Church Manage Software) in order to be included in the directory. Once everyone has been contacted, we will print copies and have them available in the Narthex for you to pick up.
Care Team Meeting: The Care Team will meet on Sunday, July 30th at 6pm in the Parish Hall. All are invited to attend.
Coffee Hour: After the service, everyone is invited to the Parish House (two lefts at the bottom of the steps) for refreshments and fellowship. We promise you will still be able to beat the Baptists and Methodists to lunch afterwards.
Bible Study: Kristian Ameigh is leading a bible study that began on Sunday, July 9th at 2pm. Material will be obtained from The Gospel According to Improv by Les Carpenter; you are not required to purchase the book to attend the study.
Potluck Pool Party: How are you all coming with our Summer Assignment from Fr. Jim? Not as well as we should have? Here is our chance! Steve and Amanda Stalker will host a St. Paul’s Potluck Pool Party, and all we have to do is bring at least one friend or neighbor who does not attend St. Paul’s! Let’s show our friends and neighbors a wonderful time with an old fashioned St. Paul’s pool party. Yes, I said old fashioned. These started back in the 70’s with our Mom and Dad, every Sunday afternoon. It will be August 13th from after church until 5-ish. ONLY 1 Requirement: Bring someone who does not attend St. Paul’s & their kids if any. Hamburgers and hotdogs provided, bring whatever else you want (for the potluck) and BYOB! -Steve & Amanda Stalker, Suzanne Magouyrk and Kristian Ameigh.
Blessing Box: Donations for non-perishable food items are needed for our Blessing Box, previously known as the Little Library. Foods that are ready to eat and pop top items are suggested. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Lector Signup: There will be a signup sheet in the Narthex for members to sign up to be a lector for the 10:30 services in the fall; you can also contact Sarah Harmon to be added to the list. Training will be held after Labor Day before rotation begins.
