PHOTO WALL UPDATES…What a blessing it is to look at the photo wall in the narthex and get to know your brothers and sisters in Christ by name!  But some of you may look a little different now, or perhaps you’ve added to your family.  We’re looking for someone to lead the charge of updating our photo wall with current pictures.  This would include encouraging members to submit photos or to have them taken here at church for us to print, labeling those photos, and positing them on the photo wall.  If you are interested in serving in this way, contact Pastor Manor at pastor.manor@gmail.com

SEWING/CRAFT CIRCLE meeting is Thursday, May 17^th, at 7pm in the Upper Fellowship Room.  Please feel free to join us as we sit in fellowship and crochet blankets and prayer shawls. If crocheting/knitting isn’t your thing but you would like to donate toward yarn that would be great as well.  Any questions please email Tami Weeks at  gsmama62@att.net.

HAVE YOU EVER needed to inquire about a household repair problem or decision and wondered if someone in our church family could give you advice or a needed service?  Have you ever wondered if someone at St. Paul’s is a carpenter, babysitter, notary, lawyer, welder, cleaning person, caterer, etc…?   Stewardship Board would like to establish an OCCUPATIONS BULLETIN BOARD displaying business cards, flyers or typed information regarding our members who are self-employed or business owners.  Please leave your cards, flyers, printed information in Janice’s office and we will arrange the new bulletin board once collected.  This is one more way to connect with our church family and, if needed, ask advice or hire for needed services they provide.

Thank you, Stewardship Board
