Independence Day
Sunday, July 7, 11 AM
Invite someone to join you at Saint Paul’s for our Independence Day Service & BBQ Parish Dinner July 7, at 11:00 AM. Our scripture readings, prayers, and music will help us give thanks for the blessings of liberty with which we have been entrusted.
Bring a dish to share! Our parish dinner is a "potluck" and counts on you. Bring your favorite BBQ; or for those whose specialty falls outside the smoker or grill, bring your favorite hash, side dish, or dessert to share. Bring your dish to the River Room Kitchen before the service. Don't forget to add your name to the bottom of your platter and make plans to pick it up. We've ordered extra pulled pork and hash for 60, so do invite visitors.
SIGN UP HERE SO THAT WE CAN BE THE BEST HOSTS
As always, we need a team to help us set up & clean up. Please sign up using the link below.
