Life at St. Paul’s

 Annual Meeting Rescheduled for This Sunday, February 8 The annual meeting has been rescheduled and will be held following the 11:00 a.m. service on Sunday, February 8.  Please plan to attend this very important meeting, as we need enough people to reach a quorum. The meeting will include an update on St. Paul’s finances, plans for the future, and election of the next Vestry.  A potluck brunch will be served. 

Unity Service Rescheduled for February 22  Ephesians 4:4 "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called."  The Unity Service, which was supposed to be held January 25, has been rescheduled for February 22 at 7:00 PM.  This prayer service is being organized by The Sanctuary and will be held at St. Paul’s.  All are invited to attend.

Gift Card Collection Most food pantries are well stocked right now, so instead of having a Food Pantry collection this month we will instead be collecting gift cards for the Rector’s Discretionary Fund (a fund Rev. Mary Rosendale uses to help those in need).  If you’d like to contribute, please bring in gift cards (of any amount) to gas stations or grocery stores and put them in the collection plate.   Gift cards will be collected until February 22.

Valentine’s Day Card Exchange Would you like to have a pen pal for a day? If so, please consider signing up for our annual Valentine's Day Card Exchange. You will be paired with a member from St. Stephen's. You will send a Valentine's Day Card (you can make one or buy one) and receive one in return. If interested, please send Rev. Mary an email with your mailing address.  

Valentine’s Day Care Packages  St. Stephen’s and St. Paul’s will be making Valentine’s Day care packages for our college students and for our parishioners unable to attend church. To help with this project, donations of homemade or store-purchased cookies and wrapped candies would be appreciated (no nuts please). Cards, handwritten notes and prayers to be included with the packages can be written at home and dropped off at Fay Hall at St. Stephen’s . There will be a table set up with all of the recipients’ names on it (please let us know if we have forgotten anyone). We know that these expressions of support are extremely welcome and comforting to the recipients.  All donations are needed by Friday, February 6th   Please reach out to Rev. Mary for more information.
