Jun 9

Members and Friends,

We had a great crowd for Pentecost. Details about Founders Day and our next capital project are now included in this email.

All the details for the week are below.

Upcoming Services/Happenings of Note:

Game night returns Wednesday, June 18th at 6:00 PM. Select a board game or card game and join the congregants of St. Paul's in the Parish Hall for fellowship. Refreshments will be available.

Sunday Morning Study Group continues this Sunday at 8:30 AM. Grab a cup of coffee and join our regulars in The Parish Hall for conversation and prayer.

Bible Study is each Wednesday at 10:00 AM in the Parish Hall, and our books for study are available as we move through Ezra and Nehemiah. Please reach out to Mother Tanya for more details.

Our next blood drive will be in July in conjunction with our 186th Founders Day service on Sunday July 13th. This year we will be honoring the legacy of The Auman Family at St. Paul's during the service and expect many family and extended family to join us that day. If you haven't been to St. Paul's in a while, this is the Sunday to mark on the calendar for fellowship, prayer, and food!

For more information on upcoming events, please check out St Paul’s Calendar.

Capital Project Update: 2025

Our capital project for 2025 will be to replace the original windows from the 1950s that were the idea of Rev. Bob Parks' vision for St. Paul's in our Parish hall, and other exteriors, including the offices. The cost is expected to be between 15k and 18k.

We are not doing a formal capital campaign this year, but if you feel led to donate, please write "capital fund" or "window fund" on your check and mail it to the church or put it in the collection plate. We hope to count all donations by Sunday, August 17th.
