| Kudos to Bishop-Elect Wright! | |
Everyone knows by now that our very own Father Wright was elected the 10th Bishop of The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.
On behalf of St. Paul's:
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ENTIRE DIOCESE ON AN OUTSTANDING CHOICE!
And to Father Wright:
WE ARE ALL SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!!
For more information about Father Wright's election, click here to read a news release from the Diocese including details regarding his ordination in October.
So, remember... Father Wright's work at St. Paul's is not finished yet! As he said in February when his candidacy was announced... our rector "remain[s] committed to working and planning for continued excellence in every endeavor."
In other words.... nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual St. Paul's extraordinary!

Don't Let High Tides Lead to Low Tithes!
| |
We know Summer means a slower pace and a more relaxed attitude, but we'd like to remind everyone that the church budget never takes a vacation. Your stewardship is as important in July as it was in January
So while you're planning your getaways, please consider your giveaways... and please don't take your money to the beach!

Choir Season Finale: June 24
| |
The Choir Season is ending in just a few weeks with the finale on June 24.
This is a big event for all the Choirs and the songs they will sing are the selected favorites of choir members. We truly hope that you will enjoy these selections, and all the Choirs thank you for your continued support throughout the year.
The new season will begin on Saturday, August 11 with a special retreat event at the Cathedral and everyone expects to have another exciting and fulfilling year. As always, the choirs are open to new members and anyone interested in joining should contact Trey Clegg and plan to join in the annual retreat.
Additionally, as part of their Season Finale, the Choirs will be hosting the Coffee & Fellowship after both services on June 24 and dedicating their efforts to Father Wright in honor of his 10th Anniversary as Rector of St. Paul's.
If any parishioner and/or organization wishes to support the Choirs in hosting the Coffee & Fellowship, your donations of time or money are welcomed.
For more information, please contact Robert (Bob) Martin at robertemartin@bellsouth.net or 404-695-0140.

The Toddler Room (ages 1-3) will be staffed with a paid sitter during both services through the end of June.
For the month of July and early August, the room will remain open for use, but without hired help. Parents wishing to make use of the Toddler Road during this time are welcome to do so but will need to coordinate their own coverage.
The Toddler Room will resume its paid babysitter coverage when Sunday School resumes in August.

 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.
