Today was another great Java Wednesday! It's a great way to wake up your mid week. There is nothing better than a hot cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning... well that and the pastries! Laughing and great conversation with fellow parishioners can be heard from the door.
Maybe you are not a morning person. Well, we've got you covered! This Saturday at 6:30pm is the first Game Night here at St. Paul in A4. Whether you like cards, board games or dice, it's a great reason to join us for games and snacks. Good ol' fashioned fun taking us back to our childhoods.
Another new event we will be having in the coming weeks is a Christmas Cookie Swap. What a great way to share a little bit of your families tradtions with others. More details on that in the future.
Let us know any new ideas you may have or if you would like to be part of the planning and preparation for any of these celebrations!
Please let the parish office know if there is anything that we can do for you. God bless ~

Daybreak Center Food Drive
Daybreak Center operates 24-hours a day, 365 days a year and provides emergency housing, and supportive services to individuals and families who are homeless. Some participants in the program are in need of short-term housing, as a result of a situational crisis. Others need support services as they work to reestablish permanent housing.
Shepherd’s Table feeds members of the community who are hungry and unable to provide for themselves by offering a free mid-day meal. Shepherd’s Table is also used as a warming and cooling center during extreme weather.
Several of St. Paul the Apostle parishioners volunteer there. They have mentioned that they are low on the following items: Cake mixes and frosting, cookies and wrapped desserts, ranch dressing, bread, tin foil, powdered sugar, fresh produce, croutons, Hawaiian punch, powdered drinks and coffee.
If you would like to help those who truly need it, please bring your donations to church October 29th and October 30th.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food”
Matthew 25:35

Did You Know ~ St. Paul Version |
|
Did you know...
When asking Fr. Mark which is his favorite window in church, he said obviously he loves the large window of St. Paul. But then he added that he also likes this window in the tower room. This window is the one he faces during confessions every Saturday.
We would love to hear which is your favorite and why!

CLOUD OF WITNESSES
A Catholic Series on the Saints ~ In his Letter to the Hebrews, the sacred author declares that the faithful are surrounded by a “cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12:1). This “cloud” is the communion of saints, our elder brothers and sisters who assist and guide us to Christ.
Cloud of Witnesses series offers an in-depth look at the lives of six saints. Michael Lewandowski will present on their lives and their miracles after they joined their heavenly Father. This opportunity seeks to inspire us to persevere and strive to be holy. Each Thursday evening will include an optional potluck from 6-7 pm in the Social Hall; dinner themes will center around the saint’s ethnicity. Michael’s presentation will run from 7-8:15 pm, and dessert will be served during small- and large-group discussion about the featured saint from 8:15-9 pm.
The first session on St. Maximilian Kolbe will be held on Thursday, October 27th. Click here to sign up for the optional Polish potluck.
