Announcements:

We have a wonderful outreach here at St. Paul with our preschool. One of the best ways we can support our preschool’s families is through prayer. We would like to have a church family praying regularly for each preschool family. That’s it!!!  Just pray!  Please sign up on the bulletin board and a preschool family will be given to you to include in your prayers.

We have the Joining Jesus on His Mission books by Greg Finke. This book tells you how to share Jesus’ love in everyday life. Pastor will lead a Bible study on this in the fall, so if you would like to read it over the summer you can purchase them for $10 from the office.

The Book to Know group will meet Sept 8 at Tanny Latuska’s home to discuss “The Light and the Glory” by Peter Marshall and David Manuel. Men– this book is rich with our nation’s history and would be of interest to both men and women.

Reminder: There is no Sunday School during the summer. The Adult Bible class will meet in August. 

Quilters will meet from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. August 11. This will be a Thrivent Action Team Event so wear your Thrivent T-shirt. We have extras if you don’t have one. a sack lunch and join us.

Septoberfest is less than 3 months away and the committee is working hard on planning. You all have heard about the bean bag toss games and I’m sure you are starting to practice. We need to have you sign up so we can get the beanbag boards ready.  If you have a board we can use, please let us know. There are sign up lists on the bulletin board for a variety of places we need your help or if there is something you want to do, let us know. ~Karen Griffin

The Women’s Bible study will continue our Bible study on homosexuality on August 8.  We meet Mondays at 5:45 pm in the basement. Everyone is invited to attend.

Vacation Bible School Thank you to all our “Farmhands and shepherds” who helped with VBS. We could not have done it without you. We served an average of 80 people per night for meals, had over 60 students from preschool thru 6th grade attend VBS. We hope all came to KNOW Jesus, GROW in Jesus and will GO tell others of Jesus!

HOPE Ministries is in need of “The Summer Six” for the shelters for homeless men, women and children. The Summer Six are tooth paste, toilet paper, paper towels, men’s Deodorant and men’s razors. Also HE (high efficiency) laundry soap. Place your donations in the HOPE box and they will be delivered. Thank you and I know the collection center will say “God Bless You”.
