TODAY we will be collecting Mites for the LWML Mission Grants. The large mite box is in the narthex. Thank you.

The Book to Know group will meet Sept 13, 7:00 pm at Shirley Tice’s home to discuss “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hanna.  Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.

Family Service Quilters will meet Thursday, Aug 9th, for a Thrivent Team Action Event from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Wear your Thrivent T-Shirts, bring a sack lunch and join us.

Wings of Refuge, a Christ-centered restoration home for women who have survived sex-trafficking, is moving to Ames. There will be a special evening of worship, information and encouragement on Friday, Aug. 17, from 7-9 p.m. at Harvest Vineyard Church in Ames. See the poster on the bulletin board for more information.

10% of your bill at Texas Road House is donated back to the church on any Sunday when you bring the current Sunday bulletin and show it to the restaurant. This is an ongoing fundraiser for all youth projects.

Save the Date! – Sept. 9.  The Facilities Assessment Team is almost ready to share some exciting information with the members of St. Paul. We will have an information sharing meeting on Sept. 9 immediately following the late worship service. You will certainly want to be present at this meeting! Stay tuned for more details to come.

SCHOOL SUPPLY AND BACKPACK DRIVE July 16th – August 15th

Items will be collected for middle school and high school-aged students.  Their greatest need is for bigger, heavy-duty backpacks.  They also need college-bound notebooks, pocket folders, loose-leaf paper (college or wide-lined), glue sticks, color pencils or markers, and even pencils and pens! Please consider buying a quality backpack and filling it with these most needed supplies.  Place all your donations into our school bus display located in the narthex.  Thank you for your generosity!!!
