   BEST WISHES TO ALL! 

If you or someone you know who is a member of St. Paul's who will be graduating or retiring this year, the members of St. Paul's Ambassadors would like to honor everyone on Sunday, 

June 3 immediately following the 11:15 a.m. service.  

Forms for the occasion are available at both entrances and at the back of the church.  Today is the last day to complete the form and return it to one of the Ambassadors. 

This week, Sunday Adult Bible Class will have as its presenter Father Monroe Freeman who will speak on the topic: A Closer Look at the Ascension.

You will be invited to think on this:

• What did Jesus promise the disciples?
• What did the disciples ask Jesus?
• But what did Jesus give them?
• How does this promise fit into your spiritual journey?    

May 20, 2012 (3rd Sunday)

 Email Azzari Jarrett for more information. 

A special thanks to Eddie Hollingsworth and company!!

Thanks to the efforts of our tireless volunteers, there is a beautiful community garden with collard greens, squash, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc, located behind the outreach house.

In addition to beautifying the neighborhood, we hope this community garden initiative will bring neighbors together and will help our food pantry families supplement their food supply with fresh, nutritious vegetables.

Pentecost Sunday is coming up on May 27 and we'd like to remind everyone to wear red in honor of the occasion.

Add a spot of red flair with a tie or a bow... 

Or dress yourself fully with red head to toe!

St. Paul's invites and encourages everyone to get into the spirit of the Spirit!

Daily Word

 The Spring Ingathering of the UNITED THANK OFFERING will be lifted June 10 at both services.

Juneteenth will be celebrated at St. Paul's on June 16 & 17.

The Episcopal Churchmen is planning its annual trek to a baseball game (with tailgate party!) on Saturday, August 18. The game is @ 7:10 P.M. against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and that game is also a part of the Delta Civil Rights Weekend. 

The ticket price is $35, which includes the tailgate party (hot dogs, hamburgers, and the works), in Bowden Hall beginning at 3:30 P.M.  You are responsible for your own transportation to Turner Field (some of us will ride MARTA). 

To get the group sales price, we must purchase at least 30 tickets. 

Tickets for this game are expected to sell quickly, and the Churchmen will purchase its tickets during the first week of July.  We will begin collecting for tickets this weekend. 

THE DEADLINE TO PURCHASE TICKETS FOR THIS GAME IS SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012.

For more information, contact Bob Martin at  robertemartin@bellsouth.net or call 404.695.0140.

St. Paul's is getting new email addresses!

During the month of May, St. Paul's is rolling out new email addresses that match our Internet domain address. Soon, all  email address will be First initial, Last Name like so: 

CFischer@StPaulsATL.org  (OK to use NOW!)

KKing@StPaulsATL.org (OK to use NOW!)

(The addresses aren't case-sensitive... they just "read" easier that way!)  

We ask that everyone to begin using the new email for Father Fischer and Kelly King and stay tuned for notification that Father Wright and Trey Clegg have been "integrated" as well. By May 31, everyone will be transitioned and the AOL accounts will be closed forever.

In the meantime, as everyone gets their new addresses set up, you will begin getting return messages from their old addresses reminding you that the old address is being discontinued. We'll keep reminding you here as well.

On June 1, it's finished. No do-overs, no take-backs, no nothing. 

Please do your part to keep us in touch!!
