BBQ Parish Dinner

Sunday, July 7, following the 11 AM service

Following the 11 AM service Sunday, July 7, we will gather in the River Room for a BBQ Parish Dinner.

Help Us Celebrate Independence Day

Included in this year’s Independence Day service will be patriotic music performed by guest musicians. You are invited to help make this possible by making donations in memory of a loved one, a veteran, an active-duty member of the military, or in thanksgiving for someone or something about America that you would like to celebrate or recognize. Please be in touch with Director of Music Keith Shafer or call him, (706) 724-2485 ext. 215. The deadline is Sunday, June 30th.

A Few Notes on the "Management" of our Prayer List

Our official prayer list is an important part of our community of prayer, organizing our prayers for our beloveds. In order for our prayer list to be effective, we must all stay connected to the list, so we ask that you contact the parish office to update us on the status of your prayer request with a quick email monthly.

Twice a year the parish will begin a new prayer list: July 1 and January 1. Of course, it is fine for a name to remain on our list for an extended period of time; we ask that you simply email the parish office to let us know you’d like a name (new or continuing) to be added to our new list. 

Donate Summer Music

Donate summer music in memory or in thanksgiving. The choirs began this year’s vacation on May 26th. Please contact Keith Shafer, Director of Music, who can provide you with more complete information at kshafer@saintpauls.org.
