News & Information

THANK YOU!
Thank you to all the ladies that helped with the meet and greet for Bishop Ed and Debbie on Saturday, April 29th and the fellowship luncheon for the confirmation/reaffirmation members on Sunday, April 30th. A special thanks to Lois Newnum for baking the lovely cake for the confirmands. Also thank you to Billye Kidwell and Mary Blassingame for hosting the baby shower for Jenna Brown on Sunday, April 6th. Jenna and baby Hayden were unable to attend the shower because Hayden was still in the hospital. He is doing fine now and recently became a new member in Christ through baptism.
Thank you all again,
Sam Weber

Church Directory: I am in the process of updating our church directory. You will find a prototype on the table in the parish hall. I need everyone to please check over their personal information: address, phone number, birthdays, anniversary etc. and make any corrections needed. Also it would be helpful to me if everyone just glanced through the directory to make sure I have not overlooked someone that you think should be included. This is a directory of parish family and friends so if you know the address of someone who has moved please let me know so that I may include them. Thank you.
Linda

VESTRY PERSON NEEDED

St. Paul’s needs one person to fill a vacancy on the vestry. There are only two requirements for this position: that you are a confirmed member of the Episcopal Church and you have a desire to be a part of the governing body of St. Paul’s. Please contact Jon Kidwell if you are interested.

A note from our Senior Warden

Alter Flowers: Donating altar flowers is a wonderful way to remember someone special in your life, honor a loved one’s birthday, celebrate an anniversary, the list goes on and on. You may order the flowers yourself or have the altar guild directress or church secretary do it for you. The sign up calendar for 2008 is posted on the bulletin board in the parish hall.
