Stepping into God's Word First Bibles Milestone |  Students in third grade (or older if they have not yet received a Bible) are invited to attend a special workshop for our First Bibles Milestone on Saturday, January 26st beginning at 9 a.m. This workshop is designed for children and parents to learn to use their Bibles together. Bibles will be presented to the students in worship on Sunday, January 27th. Please RSVP for this event by January 16th so we can be certain to have enough Bibles for the students. There is no charge for this workshop, but free will donations are gratefully accepted that will help us to provide Bibles for students in next year's class. Please contact the church office to sign up at 881-6670, or Mary Mobley at 885-0529 for more information.

Like to get a little more involved with Habitat for Humanity? |  I'm looking for a representative from St. Paul to serve as our representative to the Grosse Pointe Partners, a coalition of 12 Grosse Pointe churches who support Habitat Detroit through regular work days and fundraising support. The job entails attending monthly meetings (first Wed of the month), hosting the meeting at St. Paul about once a year (schedule the room, bring drinks and treats), coordinating a Second Saturday work day the same month as we host the meeting (publicize the volunteer opportunity in our newsletter and coordinate with Habitat Detroit volunteer coordinator), and send out annual fundraising letters to St. Paul supporters. Email me at upmeyers@hotmail.com or call 881-9522 if questions. It is a good group and very rewarding to help Habitat Detroit. Thanks. Dave Upmeyer |

Lay Care Opportunities | |
NEW LAY CARE PROGRAM
Many of our elders live alone and can't get to church regularly. We are starting a "Care Call" phone ministry that will reach out and support their need for friendship. Women, men, and youth, willing to make friendly phone calls to an assigned member(s), can make a difference in someone's day. This new lay care program would be in addition to our communion visits to shut-ins. If interested in being a "Care Caller", contact Marie Zeller ( mmzeller@comcast.net or 885-5052). We want this Care Call program in operation by January 1st. You can choose the person or persons to call; or we can assign you someone. We may rotate names so each shut-in or elder member gets the joy of having several "Care Call" friends during the year. Sharing yourself, and hearing their stories will not take a large block of your time. You do it in the comfort of your home and on your own schedule. Consider volunteering for this new project.

They welcome two parent or single parent families and pregnant women. Residents are provided safe and comfortable temporary housing with the goal of securing permanent housing. The WCFC provides job counseling and placement services, licensed child care, transportation, laundry facilities, recreation activities, meals and snacks, financial planning and support groups.
The Family Center relies heavily on generous contributions of our community. Should you wish to support the Family Center, donations of items, cash or gift cards are welcome. There is a bin in the foyer for donated items. |
