Occupations Bulletin Board…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 provide the needed service?  Have you ever wondered if someone at St. Paul’s is a carpenter, babysitter, notary, lawyer, welder, cleaning person, caterer, etc…?  The Board of Stewardship 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, or 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 to receive advice or hire someone for needed services they provide. Thank you, Board of Stewardship.    

Photo Wall Updates…We’d love to have an updated photo of you and your family for our photo wall in the narthex. Kimberly Shank will be leading this update project. She can either take your photo, or receive a photo from you. Opportunities to have your picture taken will be on June 9^th and 10^th, as well as June 23^rd and 24^th. Look for more details in next week’s bulletin.
