St. Paul’s Summer Appeals
Over the summer, we hope you are keeping St. Paul’s will be close to your heart, even if you are away traveling or enjoying some cottage time. In July, please think about the Pantry, which really requires “extra” attention. In August, when it can be very warm, consider the Boiler! In the Bulletin, a special envelope will be inserted, giving you an opportunity to contribute to that committee. The life and work of St. Paul’s is ongoing. We hope you will remain an important part of the Church Family.
Back-To-School Backpacks
St. Paul’s serves many school aged children and youth through our church outreach programs. We will be collecting donations of school supplies in an effort to provide for those who can’t otherwise purchase these necessities. Required items include: back packs, lunch kits, reusable water bottles, lined paper, coil note books, large zippered binders, dividers, pencil case, markers, pens, pencils, scissors, glue, rulers, math set, etc. If you would like to donate items to support these families, please reach out to Meghan in the church office. Items can be dropped off to the office Monday – Friday between 8am and 3pm. A donation tax receipt will be issued for items with a receipt. Cash donations are also welcome. Collection will take place until August 11th and then distributed mid-August. If you know of someone in need of school supplies, please let Meghan know so they can be added to the list.
