On our website...

| At the bottom of each page, you will now see a link to Amazon.com. If
you click it, and allow it to take you to that site, then St. Paul's
will automatically receive a percentage of whatever you spend on that
visit for referring you. So, if you do a lot (or a little!) of
shopping with Amazon, stop by the St. Paul's site first, and you'll be
helping the church as well! Thanks!

Thank you to everyone who contacted the office over the past week and volunteered to serve during Holy Week! :-)
We still need 8 people to step forward and read one of the parts of the Passion Gospel at the 10:00 service this coming Sunday. These are small parts, just a line or two each. Won't you please consider it?
