Rector’s Discretionary Fund – The Church has a small fund to help members in times of need, and we need to replenish it from time to time. On the first Sunday of the month, we will use any loose offering (offerings other than pledge income) to fund the account. There is also a new category for online giving for donations to the Discretionary Fund. It is especially appropriate to make small donations as gifts of thanks, and we often receive gifts for weddings, baptisms, or to give thanks for a loved one.

Please complete the application using this form and return it to the church office by June 30th for consideration.

NURSERY COVERAGE NEEDED - Thanks to everyone who stepped up to sit with our littlest ones in the Nursery this past year. And please see or contact me anytime during the summer or in the fall if you'd be interested in serving in this very important role. We want to make St. Paul's be a welcoming place for families with young children. Your commitment would be so appreciated. Thank you. Helen Stowe
Altar Flowers for Sundays: A nice way to remember a loved one is to place a bouquet of spring or summer flowers on the altar. A $45.00 donation is requested for ordering flowers. Or you may even have beautiful flowers in your garden that you would like to offer. 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. Forms are on the tables at the side and front entrances. Checks for flowers ordered 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.
