What's New at St. Paul's?
SPRING RUMMAGE SALE
​
St. Paul’s will host the annual rummage, antiques, collectables, and bake sale on Friday, April 17th from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. and Saturday, April 18th from 9:00 A.M. to Noon. You may phone the church during office hours (between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. weekdays) to donate your time for a 2 hour block of sale time, for accepting donations from 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday the 14th, and Wednesday the 15th, helping with setting up on Wednesday the 15th or Thursday the 16th, or boxing left-overs on Saturday immediately after the sale. Sign-up sheets for volunteering and for donating baked goods will also be out at services starting in March. We will have an ‘Antique and Collectibles’ room for Items of greater value. These items will be valued and priced individually. The committee has voted that the proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to Holy Trinity’s Drop-in Center and Warming Center. Please consider volunteering for this event which helps congregation members find new homes for items they no longer need as well as benefiting the local community. Items may be dropped off at the church during office hours starting on Monday, April 13th between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and between 5 and 7 P.M. on Tuesday and Wednesday (14th and 15th). Signs on the tables will identify where to place specific donations. (No TV’s that are not flat screen or soiled items will be accepted.) If you are not able to drop off your donations you may phone Diane Ganz (740-344-9141) to make other arrangements.
COMMUNITY MEAL RETURNS!
As we have done for the past two summers, we will be holding monthly community meals starting in May. Our first meal will take place on Sunday, May 17th after church from 11:30 am until 1:00 pm. In the past summers, this has been a really positive way to provide some outreach and fellowship to members of our community through food. Hopefully, this event can grow, but we would like to begin with one meal per month this summer. If you would like to be a part of these community meals, either through bringing a dish to share, donations of tableware or even monetary donations, helping to set up or clean up, please let Juli Rauch know.
URGENT NEED FOR FOOD PANTRY ITEMS!
We have seen a HUGE increase in need. Any shelf-stable items are needed…especially peanut butter. Items that can be made without the addition of milk or dairy, like; powered milk, juice boxes, cereal, soups, crackers instant mashed potatoes, pastas, spaghetti sauces, bread, toilet paper. The need is real and families and children are going hungry in our community. See a good BOGO sale? Donate the extra. If you wish to give a monetary donation, mark your offering envelope designated to the “Food Pantry”.

Three Church Farm-Our Own Outdoor Campground
Do you need a place for a family reunion, overnight camping,
weekend camping or just a family picnic?
Then The Three Church Farm is the place for you!
This is a beautiful hilltop area on Flint Ridge which was donated to St. Paul’s, St. John’s, Trinity and Christ Lutheran Churches by the late judge, Virginia Weiss. We at St. Paul’s help maintain this area during the year with mowing, cleanup and overall maintenance. Shelter House, picnic area, restroom facilities, water and sporting equipment is available with your reservation. Last year, the farm was only used 40 times with a lot of open dates. This facility is more than the October Ox Roast and needs to be used. No cost involved.
For reservations, check the calendar on Christ Lutheran Church web page. Click on Four Church Farm for the calendar, then call the church secretary at Christ Lutheran, 740-522-4505, for your reservation.
