All Saints Day: All Saints Day will be celebrated on Sunday, November 6th. An important part of this celebration will be the remembrance of those from our families, our parish and our community who have died. You may call or email the office with names you wish to add. If you wish to remember someone with a memorial gift, please make your contribution by Monday, October 31st so their names 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 names of whom you wish to remember in the memo line.
Stewardship Dinners: Members are being invited to attend small group dinners and are also being asked to host dinners. At these gatherings we are asking you to answer two questions: “What do you like about St. Paul’s?”, and, “What would you like to see offered by St. Paul’s FOR YOU?”. If you are interested in hosting a dinner, please let us know in the office.
Care Team Meeting (DATE CHANGE): The next meeting of the Care Team will be Sunday, October 30th at 6:00 pm. If you are a part of this vital ministry of St. Paul’s, please watch for an email with more information. If you are not a part of it, but would like to join it please let Fr. Jim or Katie know.
Forward Day by Day: The November, December, and January issue of Forward Day by Day has arrived and will be available for you to pick up this Sunday in the Narthex and in the office during the week. We will also mail you a copy if you wish – please call or email Katie if you would like her to mail one to you.

Volunteers are also welcome to help with giving out the candy that evening.
