Notices for September 20, 2020

It’s a wonderful time of the year!  OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOX COLLECTION begins today.  Would you please consider packing a shoebox?  There are many children who have never received a gift.  Just think of the joy a child will feel when receiving a box filled with happy surprises.  Most important though, is that every shoebox gives an opportunity to share the Great News of Jesus Christ with a child.  Our goal this year is 140 Shoebox Gospel opportunities.  If you prefer to make a monetary donation to purchase items and cover shipping expenses for the shoeboxes, please make checks payable to “St. Paul’s Lutheran Church” with a designation to “Samaritan’s Purse” on the memo line. Monetary donations are due by October 18th.  If you have any questions, Travis (tpoudin@gmail.com) or Emily Poudin (epoudin2@gmail.com) will be happy to help. 

SONS OF THUNDER will be collecting returnable bottles and cans next Sunday, September 27^th, between services. 

INDOOR TAG SALE at Hands of Grace, 8 Wickett St., New Hartford, Saturday, October 17th, 9:00am – 1:00pm.  Masks required.  Social distancing observed.  Something for everybody! 

HANDS OF GRACE has a short devotional on Facebook Thursdays at 12:30pm centered on the devotional of the day in “Our Daily Bread”. Please join us.

DO YOU ENJOY MUSIC?  Would you like to get together couple times a month to just play and have fun?  We are looking for someone who can play a keyboard or a djembe (hand drum) or any other instrument to join and have some fun. This will not be for worship but for fellowship and the joy of music. If you are interested please contact Pastor K. and we will go from there! Thank you.
