November is Stewardship Month
This is stewardship month. Pledge cards were distributed at last Sunday’s service. We will be mailing them to those who were not in attendance. Please fill them out and return them so Richard can put together next year’s budget. Stewardship is about our relationship with God and there are many ways to serve the church. Pledging helps us set a budget and pay our bills. But St. Paul’s is also blessed with a congregation willing to give so freely of their time and effort to seek Christ, serve Christ, and share Christ. Thank you to EVERY ONE of you for your contributions.

Just a reminder. The Post Office will no longer deliver church mail if sent to the 11100 32 Mile Road address. The address MUST be to our PO Box number: PO Box 148, Romeo, MI 48065
Parish Annual Meeting
Our Annual Parish Meeting will be January 25th. Ellie will be contacting those who need to submit reports. We will also be electing two new Vestry members. Please give careful consideration to running for Vestry. If interested, let Ellie know. And please take a moment to thank the two Vestry members — Richard Hutchinson and Jackie Youngblood — whose terms are over. Thank you for your dedication, support, and contributions to this church community. Richard has agreed to remain as the Church treasurer but will not be a voting member of the Vestry.
Search Committee
John Contoni, our Search Committee Chair, has provided an update from The Rev. Canon Susie Shaefer, the Diocese’s Canon for Transition and Formation. She has let him know that the rector position will be posted in November and there are several possible candidates for a part-time position. They likely won't be ready to apply until closer to spring.
