The forty-second Diocesan Men's Conference and Retreat will be at Camp Beckwith Feb 28 - Mar 2. The retreat leader will be Fr. Adam McCoy of the Order of the Holy Cross. Registration information is on the Diocesan website (www.diocgc.org/event-registration).
During last week's record cold and snow event, St. Paul's opened as an emergency shelter under the Safer Place program administered by Baldwin Emergency Management. We housed a total of 18 people, with our largest overnight census being 12. We were the largest shelter in Baldwin County. We could not have served those in need without the leadership of George Waller and all those who volunteered to staff the shelter. This is what seeking and serving Christ in all persons looks like. Well, done, good and faithful servants.
Supper Clubs begin in February. Twice a year, St. Paul's organizes members into small groups of 8 to 10 people to get together in someone's home or a restaurant for a meal. In homes, the host generally prepares the main course and the other members provide appetizers, sides and desserts. Everyone brings a beverage of their own choice. If you decide to meet in a restaurant, everyone pays their own bill. Please let Penny know if you would like to be part of a group or if you have questions, either by email at email saintpaulsfoleyoffice@gmail.com or phone at 251-943-2173. This is a great way to get to know people.
Saint Paul's own Blessing Box needs to be filled! This box can have
toiletries and nonperishable items such as cereal, snack food, baby food,
Pop-Tarts and canned vegetables and fruit. A bin is in the Parish Hall and the
office for donated items or place them in the Blessing Box in front of the
office.
