Mission Trip in Our Own Backyard - August 29 |
| We have the opportunity to help with the clean up of the floods in the Southern Tier. A work group will be going down on Saturday August 29.
We will be meeting at St. Paul's at 7:30 a.m. for a 7:45 a.m. depature.
Those coming need to wear boots and long pants and bring with you, cloth gloves, either rubber or latex gloves, a shovel and bucket and clean clothes to wear home. We will have a small supply of N95 particulate masks, but if you can stop at Home Depot or Lowes and pick one up.
High school youth are welcome to come, but they must have two copies of the signed permission form on the Diocesan website We are also still collecting funds to assist the three churches hit by the flooding. Make your check payable to St. Paul's and marked diaster relief or put loose cash in the offering plate on Sunday.
There is also a special need for diapers and baby wipes, just bring them to church and we'll get them down there. |

Celebration of a New Ministry and 60 years |
 Bishop Garrison will be at St. Paul's on
Friday, September 18 for the Celebration of the Ministry of our new rector and of the 60th Anniversary of the Dedication of St. Paul's, which is that day.
We will bless the rectory at 6:30 p.m. and start the service of Celebration at 6:45. Please mark your calendars and plan to be there.
