Upcoming Events & News

 

St. Paul’s Place-Seeking Volunteers: We need a few volunteers to help us do a quick clean-up job at the rectory after church on Sunday. One group checks out at 11 and the next group in at 3. It will be light cleaning and making beds. Thanks! Fred & Jo


Forward Day by Day: The November, December, and January issue of Forward Day by Day has arrived and will be available for you to pick up this Sunday in the Narthex and in the office during the week. We will also mail you a copy if you wish – please call or email Katie if you would like her to mail one to you.


Fun & Safe Halloween on Main Street: Spooky season is almost here! If you would like to contribute candy to be given out on Halloween, you can drop it off at the church office or it can be given to Brenda Bittle. Volunteers are needed and appreciated to also help hand out candy! 👻


St. Paul's Fall Work Day: Taking place on Saturday, October 25th from 9:00 am to about 1:00 pm volunteers are needed to help with several maintenance and cleaning jobs around our church buildings, both inside and outside. Most of the jobs are simple, but need lots of hands to complete. If you can help, please join us. Supplies will be provided, but please bring tools (pruners, loppers, rakes, etc.) and gloves if you plan to help on the grounds. You will also be treated to donuts in the morning, and pizza & drinks at noon. This is a great opportunity to be of service to our church community. 


Adult Sunday School: Adult Sunday School is reading Adam Hamilton book, The Call, and we will continue meeting at 9:15 each Sunday morning in the Parish Hall. Come see what it's all about!!


Altar Flowers: The next upcoming available dates for flowers are November 9th & 23rd and December 14th.  Call or text Jo Cargill-Krug to reserve a date at (870-613-6981).


Children’s Sunday School: Children's Sunday School will have a Year of Service this year. For anyone who is homebound and needs help or assistance with small tasks, please reach out to the church office. Children's Sunday School also plans on helping with the Care Team as well.
