Diocesan Convention Via Zoom Nov. 6-7
Everyone is welcome to register and attend our Diocesan convention. It’s a great way to learn about what’s going on in our diocese, and this year there will be four different learning tracks. These workshops will introduce new skills and opportunities that can be applied at St. Paul’s and beyond!

Dedicating Flowers at St. Paul‘s
If you are considering dedicating flowers for St. Paul’s services in memory of a loved one or for a special celebration, please contact the church office. The Sundays of October and December are currently open. Our mission is to beautify our church and enhance our worship here at St. Paul’s. Thank you for your support.
Community Meal Needs To-Go Bags
If you have extra paper or plastic bags, the Community Meal could use them. With two meals being served weekly, on Mondays and Wednesdays, that is about 125+ to-go bags needed. Bags can be dropped off anytime by the bench outside the parish hall (closest to the church office).
Host a Zoom Coffee Hour
Friends, do you feel boxed in by the Zoom coffee hour? There is an opportunity to break through the wall and occasionally host our fellowship gatherings on Sunday mornings (at 9:45). The lay people will be relieving Rev. Annie so she has a moment to reflect and collect herself between services.
If you have been able to participate regularly you know they are great fun and another chance to better know the people of St. Paul’s. We also share hopes and dreams, sheltering tips, good meals, movies, meals, etc.
You won’t be asked much: prepare a discussion question, post it to the group and moderate the discussion. You’ll be able to call on each individual and may have to gently but clearly steer the conversation if we begin to stray.
If you are interested, or have questions, contact Larry Lutz. He will be scheduling the hosts and assist you in getting started.
