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. TODAY is the last day to sign up.
Calling all women of St. Paul– Join us for a new Women’s Bible study beginning Sept. 9th from 5:45 – 7 pm in the basement board room. We will be studying “Gideon” by Priscilla Shirer. Books will be $10. Pick up in the office or on the first night. Questions – call the office.
