Sunday School Teachers Needed
It looks like we will need at least two new Sunday School teachers for the fall. Teaching our children about the Good News of Jesus Christ is so very important. If you would like to volunteer as a Sunday School teacher please contact Julia Tillman or Lee Ann Tegtmeier. Thank you.

Shelter Meal Coordinator Needed
We are so grateful for the wonderful way Britt Kauss coordinated the meals every night for our shelter residents. With a new job and all that comes with being a newlywed, she has to give up the job as meal coordinator for our shelter. So, we are now looking for someone to take over for Britt. If you would like to volunteer or if you have any questions, please contact Pastor Omholt. Thanks.

New Member Sunday
New members will be received into St. Paul's Church on Sunday, October 2 during the 11:00am worship service. There will be two classes for prospective members on Thursday, September 22 and September 29 at 7:00pm in room 207 of the educational building. If you cannot make the classes then feel free to meet with Pastor Omholt individually. If you have any questions about membership at St. Paul's, please contact Pastor Omholt or Vicar Hertzog |

Food Pantry
Do not forget the food pantry over the summer - we always need the basics like soup, pasta sauce, canned vegetables and fruits, peanut butter and jelly. Also, toilet paper is a big request from our clients. Since Sunday School is out, we don't have that weekly donation anymore. |
Shrub Donations
Four hydrangeas, eight azaleas, and six floribunda rose bushes are hoping you will become a sponsor. If interested in donating $30 to St. Paul's for one of these long-lived shrubs, either as a memorial or commemorative, please contact Neil Berger or talk to him at church.

Property Identification
The Property Ministry is requesting that church members, church groups, and users of our church identify by September 15 their property stored around the church and education wing. Items or storage containers should show the name of the responsible person or group. Items placed on cabinet tops, however, should be removed as soon as possible because they represent safety hazards. Let's make St. Paul's a cleaner and safer place for everyone!

Sale of Old Kitchen Dishes
The Property Ministry is sorting and creating an inventory of the hundreds of plates, cups, and other pieces of china and glassware that were replaced and stored in the church basement when the new kitchen was installed. We should have a final list completed by mid-September. We want to thank Henry Radamacher for beginning the project. Most of the green-rimmed heavy white china is in excellent condition, making it ideal for everyday use. To help our homeless shelter, we propose asking for donations of $1.00 per piece. If interested in helping with this project or in acquiring some of the china, contact Neil Berger at (202) 362-3139.

Prime Time - "Helping Hands"
As St. Paul's begins another year of Prime Time ministry we find ourselves in the wonderful position of welcoming the Georgetown Senior group to our gathering. With this blessing of serving the larger community we find it necessary to ask for "helping hands" to assist in serving lunch to this combined group of approximately 30 participants. If you are able to help on a routine or occasional basis please contact Deaconess Cassie @ 202-966-5489. |
