ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Way of Love: Practices for a Jesus-Centered Life – This week's word is: BLESS. What’s something you take for granted--be it time, a possession or personal skill-- that you could share to make a real difference in someone’s life this week?
Welcome the Rev. Patricia Hames as today’s celebrant and preacher. The Rector is on a family trip visiting Austin, TX. She returns to the office on Tuesday, August 13. Please contact the parish office or Senior Warden Chuck Maynard (203-761-0041) to arrange for emergency pastoral coverage before then. The Seminarian is also away this weekend, returning for next Sunday, August 11.
Thank you to Ray Bryant for mowing the lawn at St. Paul’s this week!
Healing Prayer Ministry Today at 8:00 – Please feel free to go to members of our Healing Prayer team after receiving communion to request prayers for yourself or on behalf of others. All prayer requests will be kept confidential.
Jenna Saldana, The Director of US Operations for El Porvenir, will be attending the 9:30am service today, August 4th. Please join us in welcoming her and stay for a brief presentation on El Porvenir and its mission to bring clean water to all Nicaraguans, at coffee hour after the service.
“Let My People Go” is a new ECCT Ministry Network being formed to raise awareness about the plight of migrant children in U.S detention camps and to coordinate a multi-parish response. Please let the Rector know if you would like more information about getting involved in this ministry of compassion.
The Thrift Shop is in need of men’s shoes. Any donations would be appreciated!
Coffee Hour! Making coffee is really easy -- it doesn’t have to be fancy – just a few goodies for people to enjoy while they visit with friends. Please sign up for a Sunday – maybe get another person to team up with you. The sign-up sheet for hosting coffee hour is posted on the easel at the back of the church. If you need help with setting up or making coffee, please contact Sharon Rogalski, George Richardson or George Swenson. We also have a small fund to help defray the cost of goodies. Please see Jennifer in the office.
