AED Trained? Please contact Cheryl Lowman at cheryl.cassady@yahoo.com if you have been trained to use a defibrillator device as we have here at church to the right as you exit the narthex. We are putting together a list of those who have this training and we would love to include you. Thank you very much!

Wednesday Night Worship and Prayer Ministry…will take a break through July 25^th. We will resume on Wednesday, August 1^st. This break will provide an opportunity for rest for those currently participating and for re-engagement for new people to jump in as well. It will also allow the leaders to have the same opportunities to be refreshed and renewed with vigor when these activities resume. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Manor or the Board of Elders.

Young Ladies And Mentors Group… will meet Thursday, July 19^th, 6:30pm – 8:00pm. All preteen through college age young ladies, and all ladies of St. Paul’s, are welcome to be a part of this first get together! Due to scheduling situations, this time ONLY, we will meet the same evening as the Sewing Circle. The group idea and vision came from our very own Emily Jury! We will meet in the Lower Fellowship Room and share thoughts of how to proceed, and we will have some fun too! Please see Emily Jury or Cheryl Lowman if you would like more information. We are overjoyed with excitement to begin this new adventure and seek to grow in Christ together as we go!

Young Families Ice Cream Social…Sunday, July 22^nd, 2:00pm – 4:00pm. All families with children living at home are welcome to come together and share a relaxed time of fellowship on our church lower lawn! There will be face painting, a few games, tents for shade, cold beverages, and lots of ice cream with toppings! Our Fellowship Committee will be hosting this special time! We will meet in the Lower Fellowship Room in case of rain. The families whose children attend Vacation Bible School who do not have a home church have also been invited! We look forward to it with great joy and anticipation!

Friendship Ablaze! Beginning today, you’re all invited to be a part of a 4 week series called Friendship Ablaze! Sunday mornings will include a series of worship services and instructional sermons that empower God’s people to invite their friends to meet their best friend, Jesus! We will also have a series of Bible studies that share practical ways for you to continue to grow in your efforts to connect people to Jesus in your daily lives and friendships. Friendship Sunday will be the last week of the series at our worship and picnic at Brodie Park on August 5^th. On that day, everyone is encouraged to invite a friend, especially those without a church home or a relationship with Jesus, to join you for the special worship service and picnic. I invite, encourage, and challenge you all to be a part of Friendship Ablaze!

July 15^th: “Friendship Ablaze!”
July 22^nd: “Friendship Fever – Catch It!”
July 29^th: “Friendship in Action – Doing the Ask!”
August 5^th: “Friendship Sunday”

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 has 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.
