The Vestry has formed committees to assist with the many ministries in the parish and is seeking volunteers to serve on
them. The full list of committees and the Vestry representative for each is available here.
Bob Wilson, chair of the 2008 Pledge Campaign, is looking for 10 committed
volunteers to join him for this year’s work in gathering funds to do the mission of St. Paul’s Church in the
call of Jesus Christ. Please contact him after the 10 AM Sunday service, or e-mail him at
jlcw@comcast.net.
The Pledge Campaign itself will last just 4 weeks, but the preparation for success begins in May. Don’t hesitate
to join up; it is really rather fun and most satisfying to achieve this most important goal.
The Parish Directory project is going full speed ahead and we need everyone's help to make it a success. Most importantly:
- Have your photo taken in May after the 8am or 10am services (May 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th)
- Consider advertising your business in the directory. Business card ads cost $50.
- Anyone interested in helping with this project, please contact Robin Broadbent
Bring your lunch to St. Paul’s Church and enjoy mini-organ recitals on Wednesdays during the month of May. These recitals will be held in the Sanctuary from 12:15 PM – 12:45 PM. They are free and open to the public.
- May 14th – Colin Lynch
- May 21st – Daniel Bayless
- May 28th – Mary Copeley

at a deeper level than most adult education programs permit. The Rev. Sally Hague will be here at 9:00 AM on Sunday,
May 18th, to answer your questions about EFM and explore the possibility of starting an EFM group at St. Paul’s
this fall. Please join her in the chapel to learn more.
On June 1st after the 10 AM service the Sunday School will celebrate the conclusion of the
Sunday School year with an Ice cream Social. Everyone, whether you have Sunday Schoolers or not, is welcome to

have enough ice cream.

He will be the celebrant and preacher for both the 8 AM and 10 AM services.
