New to Saint Paul's or just new again? Please join us Sunday, June 28, 10:00 a.m. in the Parlor for our quarterly orientation, Welcome to Saint Paul's. This is a casual opportunity to meet some of our staff, answer your questions about membership and how you can get involved in the activities of the church.

Our new assistant, John Jenkins, his wife, Bess, and children, John Turner and Ellie, are settling into their new home in Augusta and will begin working and worshiping at Saint Paul's in July. As a way of welcoming them to Augusta and to Saint Paul's we would like to give them a "pounding." 

Giving a pounding is an old-fashioned way to help someone by stocking their pantry with non-perishables, foods, or cleaning supplies. A custom dating back to Quaker founding days: the custom was established to welcome a new pastor and his family into the congregation. The idea was to give the family a pound of staples to fill their pantry. 

So as not to overwhelm the Jenkins as they settle in we can bring a gift of welcome to the church office. Please attach to your gift a note of welcome with your name. We will see that these gifts of welcome are delivered to Jenkins. 

Suggestions: staples such as flour, sugar, spices, coffee, condiments, canned goods; gifts to stock a bar; cleaning supplies; paper products, gift certificates for local restaurants.

The 19th annual Star Spangled Fourth concert is Saturday the 4th of July at 7:30 p.m. at Saint Paul's Church, followed by the Riverwalk fireworks display. The 2015 guest star is Joe Gransden of Atlanta, who joins the 100-member Independence Day Chorus and Orchestra in performing all your favorite patriotic arrangements plus some of Frank Sinatra's in honor of his 100th birthday. A special "Swing Band" has been added for the Sinatra music. An Afterglow Party in the River and Berlin Rooms will be catered by Publix, Pet Dairy, and Coca Cola. WRDW CBS TV is the television sponsor. For ticketing and further information visit the website, www.RiverwalkSeries.com or call the Box Office, (706) 722-3463. The 2015 Star Spangled Fourth is made possible by grants from the Porter Fleming Foundation, the Knox Foundation, University Health Foundation, Windsor Jewelers, and Shoes on Surrey.

Donate summer Sunday guest musicians. On the Sundays during July and August when the choirs are on vacation there are opportunities to provide for guest singers and instrumentalists. Gifts can be in memory or honor of someone or in thanksgiving. Please contact Keith Shafer, for details  or (706)724-2485 ext. #215.
