Worship Leaders – Calling all readers, crucifers, ministers of communion! Sign up sheets are available on the easel in the back of the church.
July 21st is Healing Prayer Sunday - Please see Healing Prayer team members with your prayer requests.
Coffee Hour on Vacation! - Garrison Keillor once said, “You know you are an Episcopalian when it’s 100 degrees with 90% humidity and you still have coffee hour after church!” So, even though there will be no “official” coffee hour from June 30th through September 1st, we might like to keep connected during the summer, and share a cup of coffee or glass of iced tea with our friends. If you would like to host a “simple” coffee hour (i.e. cookies, fruit) during the summer, please sign up on the sheet posted on the easel at the back of the church. If no one signs up for a date, there will be no coffee hour on that Sunday. Please, if you are doing a coffee hour during the summer, you will need to set up and clean up (wash any dishes, rinse out coffee pots, and put them away). Please do not leave anything in the racks draining, including the coffee pots.
Summertime Food/Diaper Drives - In July, August and September we will not have our traditional drive-thru food/diaper drives on the second Saturday of the month due to scheduling conflicts, vacations, and our agreeing to be a part of the Wallingford churches Unity-in-Faith food drive in September. During the summer, we will have collection boxes in the back of the church and by the office where you can leave your food donations when you come to church on Sunday or when the church is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11a.m to 12:30 p.m. If you would like to make cash donations for Master’s Manna or for diapers, please give your donations to Pat Sousa or Sharon Rogalski.
Please remember that, although our plans for collecting food and cash donations will be a little different this summer, people will still be hungry and will need food. Master’s Manna tells us they desperately need food donations during the summer, especially cold cereal, canned meals such as Chef Boyardee canned pasta, hearty soups and stews, chili, canned fruit/applesauce and pasta sauce.

Altar Flowers for Sundays - If you would like to reserve a Sunday, please submit the names of those to be remembered and the date of the Sunday on which you wish the flowers to be on the altar. A $45.00 contribution for each date is suggested. Forms are on the tables at the side and front entrances. Checks for the memorials should be made payable to “St. Paul’s Memorial Flower Fund” and submitted to the church office along with the form. If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Rogalski.
Prayer for the people of Ukraine - God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
