This Week at St. Paul's - July 14, 2011

There are lots of ways and places that people find God - sample a variety of spiritual practices.
Come away and experience a small taste of various ways to experience the presence of God.
Come Friday night for a retreat or come on Saturday for a day-long experience.
Small tastes of various spiritual practices will allow you to see what kinds of spirituality might be a good fit for you - and what you might want to explore further.
Meet other young adults who are also exploring spirituality.

Deanery Picnic - August 7

The Eastern Erie Deanery Picnic will take place on Sunday, August 7, at noon at Stiglmeier Park in Cheektowaga. This event is a potluck, so please bring a dish to pass. There is no need to sign up ahead of time. Just bring yourselves, your dish, and your sense of fun. We hope to see you there!

St. Paul's on Facebook

After some discussion, the parish office has decided that a Facebook "page" better suits our purposes than our current group, so we have created one. Just go HERE, and click "like", and you're all set! Anything we post will begin showing up in your news feed.

Please be advised that the current group will be deleted on August 1.

Tutoring @ Harris Hill Elementary

As some of you know, Pastor Vicki has been tutoring at Harris Hill this school year and last. Harris Hill is seeing an increased need for tutors - they especially need people who would be willing read one on one with kindergarteners, first and second graders who are learning to read. There is also a need for people willing to work with children on math.

What is necessary is a free hour a week between 8:30 and 2:30 and a willingness to help.

We are beginning to recruit tutors for the 2011-2012 academic year. We will have a meeting in August to get ready for September.

If you are interested let Pastor Vicki know.

Can you knit or crochet?

Help us turn all of the yarn that's been donated into blanket squares for Roswell and and full-size blankets for Project Linus. Pick up an instruction sheet and a kit from the church. Instruction sheets are on the poster in the kitchen hallway, and kits are available from Barb Dascomb.
