Piano News: Last month a donor from the area gave St. Paul's a Weber grand piano which means that we have two grand pianos. What we do not have is space in the choir area for musicians and for people to moving during worship. The plan we have come up with is to sell one of the grand pianos and use the proceeds to purchase an upright grand to use in the church with the current piano moving to the Parish Hall. The Weber has already sold and arrangements are being made to move it. We also have found an upright grand that will work very well for us. The problem is that with the additional costs of moving the pianos, we are short of the total funds needed. If you would like to donate to the grand piano switch fund, please contact either Helen or Pastor Brent.
Saint Paul's own Blessing Box needs to be filled! Over the summer there is a higher demand. This box can have
toiletries and nonperishable items such as cereal, snack food, baby food,
Pop-Tarts and canned vegetables and fruit. Items that do not require cooking are especially needed - items such as Pop Top Ravioli, Spaghetti-Os and mac & cheese. 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.
