ANNOUNCEMENTS
Offering Envelopes – This year we will not be mailing offering envelopes due to the high cost to do so. Boxes of envelopes can be found in the back of the sanctuary. All boxes have names on them and are placed alphabetically. Please make sure you pick up your box and not someone else’s! If there is not a box with your name on it and you would like offering envelopes, please contact the parish office and we will be happy to get them to you. Emergency Shelter -- St. Paul's has volunteered to work at the Wallingford Emergency Shelter on Sunday evenings from December until March. Hours are no later than 6:45 – 8:30 PM (note change in times) and duties include serving food to shelter guests and clean up of kitchen. Anyone interested in signing up should see Robin Hunter. The website with volunteer information is www.wallingfordshelter.org/volunteers. Church School News – Church School classes resume next Sunday, January 8, 2012 to celebrate Disciple/Friendship Sunday! We’re encouraging all Church School children to invite a friend to Church School. The goal is to provide the children with a way to share their faith, like the disciples. The lesson will focus on fun and friendship with associated crafts for all! Adult Forum - This winter the Adult Forum is exploring the Gospel of Mark. It is widely believed that this was the first of the four gospels to be written, and our lectionary in the new year draws heavily from this gospel. We’ll learn about when and why this gospel might have been written, and use this knowledge to help understand the text more deeply and apply the message of the gospel to our lives today. The Adult Forum meets on Sundays at 9:00 am downstairs in Wilkinson Hall beginning next Sunday January 8. All are encouraged to attend! St. Paul’s Parish Photo Directory – You can make your portrait appointment TODAY! Just go to the St. Paul’s website and click on “portrait”. Photos will be taken January 26, 27, 28, right here at St. Paul’s. We are hoping for 100% participation, and remember everyone who participates will receive a free 8x10 color portrait. Don’t use the web? You can sign up at church on 1/8, 1/15, 1/22. For more details please contact Tricia Pasley. |
