Joining Jesus on His Mission Lifestyle Training- Coming Soon- Save The Date
An exciting event will be happening at St. Paul on January 6, 7 and 8. Reverend Greg Finke will be joining us to provide Missional Lifestyle training. The main training session will be on Saturday, January 7th at the church from 9 to 3. The weekend will be a fantastic way to kick off your daily walk with Jesus in 2017. There will be more information forthcoming, but save the dates. Everyone will want to be part of this opportunity. To prepare for this weekend visit Reverend Finke’s website at www.dwelling114.org and continue to read or reread the book Joining Jesus on his Mission.
Child Care Opportunity-January 7– We have at least one family who will need childcare for the workshop on Jan 7. Therefore, we are looking for one or two people who are interested in caring for children on the 7th from 9 to 3. This will be a paid position. Contact Paul Knop to discuss further- 292-7481.
Director of Music Ministry Update- The search group for our new director has met with little success during the four month search. The group did interview one candidate. Members of the group feel there is an opportunity to serve the Lord if the position is split into multiple positions. Thus, if the Lord moves you to consider serving, or you know of someone who has expressed an interest in serving, as Vocal Choir Director, or as Bell Choir Director, or as part-time organist, please visit with a member of the search group. It is our hope that by dividing up the duties we can find qualified and willing candidates to serve the Lord in these areas of our music ministry. “Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19b)
Quilters Needs- We could still use some gently used sheets for the quilts. Please leave them in the bin marked “Quilting Supplies” under the coat rack at the east entrance. you.
The Benevolence Fund (Friends in Need) was started to act as an emergency fund to help members facing temporary financial difficulties. Currently, the fund is in need of replenishment. We invite you to consider donating to this worthy cause to help your fellow members in need.
