Communication is a two-way street and St. Paul's is taking 'er out on the open road! Please join us at the church tonight from 7:00 to 8:00 PM for a casual, open-floor discussion about... whatever! Maybe you have questions, maybe you have concerns, maybe you have constructive suggestions. Whatever it is... let's talk about it. 

St. Paul's is listening... see you tonight!

The Year-End Giving Statements are printed, collated, folded, stuffed, and sealed.  Anyone who wants to pick up their statement in person can do so this Sunday (JAN 29), next Sunday (FEB 5) or at the office anytime in between. 

On Monday, February 6, any statements that have not been picked-up will be mailed. Until then, if it's convenient, be a champ and save a stamp by picking up your Giving Statements when you're in church this week or next. 

Email Kelly King for more information.

The Toddler Room at St. Paul's is now open for young children (ages 1 to 3) who are looking for a safe and enriching new hangout while your folks are at church. Make friends, play with toys, toss back a few Animal Crackers and enjoy being a toddler while your parents experience a worry-free worship service.

To participate in this important  program, please arrive 15 minutes before the service starts to sign-in and to register your mom or dad for a volunteer shift on an upcoming Sunday. St. Paul's is providing one professional sitter each week and need one additional grown-up for each service.  Please let your parents know we're counting on them to support the Toddler Room by volunteering their time to help out! 

Be sure to please bring two extra diaper changes (if you wear them) and a covered drink. Also, if you can't have Animal Crackers please ask a parent to bring an appropriate snack for you so you don't feel left out.

Pick-up is immediately following each service. Thanks!

 Email Joy Jones for more information.

 Hunger Walk 2012: Community Outreach coordinators are launching an early bird campaign to raise the most money ever for Hunger Walk (Sunday March 11). To that end, St. Paulites may begin making online donations in the "Hunger Walk" box of Access Financial Management for St. Paul's Episcopal Church today!

Please consider periodic donations so we can reach our goal; also, please forward the website address to friends and supporters for their donations. If you prefer to write a check for one of our Sunday offerings, please make it out to "St. Paul's Episcopal Church" and write "Episcopal Charities/ Hunger Walk 2012" in the memo line.
