     Raising money for provide clean water for 3rd world countries Gotcha!

Hearts and Hands, knitting warm caps for our military.

The Youth at St. Paul's love Maundy Thursday. They were anxious to wash feet, serve others as Jesus served the disciples.

St. Paul's is not a building, rooted to the ground. We are a people seeking Christ, serving Christ, and sharing Christ throughout God's creation. We are small in size. We are mighty in Spirit. In us and through us, God will accomplish many wonders.

Outreach -The Young Adults from the 1:00 p.m. service have been having a great time flocking the yards of neighbors with pink flamingos. One well from the Episcopal Relief Development Fund costs $750. As of May 28 we have reached our goal. God is good and so are all of you.

It gets cold in the Middle East. Hearts and Hands is a group of people who knit caps for our soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The caps fit under their helmets, giving them a nice cushion while keeping their heads warm. We have people from outside of St. Paul's who have knit and donated hats to this cause. If you like to knit and want to help out, e-mail us, and we will send you the pattern directions. We also knit prayer shawls (see our photo to the side)
