Budget Status Follow Up and Re-pledge Appeal: | 
Thanks to all who attended the adult forum on Sunday. One of the suggestions was to put the revenue needs in personal terms. If 100 giving units (families and individuals) gave $5 per week more (a total of $260 for the year), we'd completely close the $26,000 gap. Obviously some may be able to do more and others won't be able to do that. Please prayerfully consider increasing your pledge as you are able. Another thing to consider: If you were supporting the Vision of Growth in Ministry program over the last 5 years, consider giving a portion of that support to the general fund. Thanks to all who have supported St. Paul in time and contributions. It takes all of us doing what we can to support our ministry.
To be considered in the budget planning before the Annual Meeting on January 27, we will need notice of pledge increases by TODAY, WEDNESDAY 23. You can fill out a new pledge card, or simply call or email Gretchen Archinal ( gretchen.archinal@stpaulgp.org) at the office. Thank you for your ongoing support to St. Paul. Dave Upmeyer |

Adult Forum
January 27 No Adult Forum
There will be one service at 9 am after
which we go downstairs for the annual meeting
of the congregation, beginning at 10:30 am.
Living the Word for children
 This week children will gather in the Fireside room for the opening immediately following the 9am service. The children will discuss the Gospel lesson of Jesus being rejected at Nazareth, and learn that God works through His Word and Sacraments so we believe. The middle school youth will meet upstairs to discuss the Church as the Body of Christ, and explore their place and commitment. High School youth are encouraged to attend the annual meeting.

Habitat for Humanity Update |
 Next Habitat Grosse Pointe Partners Volunteer Opportunity. St. Paul will host the 2nd Saturday Build on February 9, 2013 from 8 am to 4 pm. We will meet in our parking lot at 7:45 am to carpool to the work site. We most likely will be working inside rehabbing houses (possibly stripping wall paper and painting) in the Morningside area, just across Mack Avenue and east of Alter Road. We will need about 10 volunteers for that day. Call Dave Upmeyer (881-9522) or email upmeyers@hotmail.com to sign up. There are similar opportunities during the week throughout January for those able to work then. I'm also still looking for someone to coordinate these activities with the Grosse Pointe Partners. Thanks |
