What's New at St. Paul's?

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF SCHOOL KITS

The summer is rushing by and we'll soon find sales on school supplies. This is the best time to purchase donations for the Lutheran World Relief school kits. We hope to prepare at least 100 kits and will greatly appreciate your contributions of the following items: 70 sheet spiral notebooks (375 needed), 50 pencil sharpeners, 220 blue or black ballpoint pens (not the gel type). Please bring your donations by August 16th. A box will be placed in the front of the walkway to the education building to receive your donations and will have an updated list of what is needed. Monetary donations are also most welcome. Just mark on your offering envelopes “school supplies.” Thank you!

**We have enough pencils, crayons, scissors, rulers and erasers left from last year's donations. Please do not donate backpacks. We purchase nylon string backpacks in quantity because we have no way of knowing the age of the recipients.**

COMMUNITY PICNIC

 

Our next community picnic will be held, Sunday, June 28th right after the 10 o’clock service. Look for sign-up sheets in the breezeway at church. The next picnic will be held July 26th. In case of inclement weather, we will move the fun indoors to Danford Hall!

Look forward to seeing you there!

 

 

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.
