Easter Greetings for Former Members
We’re sending Easter greetings and notes of encouragement to Fr. Steven and Sue Yurosko, former longtime members of St. Paul’s. Please write a card or a note (pictures from our church kids?) and mail or drop by my house. I’m listed in the St Paul’s directory. The deadline is Sunday, March 28. Blessings. Anne Seed

Monthly Bellringing for COVID Deaths
In fellowship with other Benicia churches, St. Paul’s will ring the church bell on the 6th of every month to honor those who have died because of the COVID virus. We rang the bell 6 times at noon on March 6th and will on April 6th, and so on through (at least) August 6th when the group will re-evaluate. If you’d like to volunteer to ring the bell, contact Steve Rodekohr.
