Volunteers needed to teach and help! Health Screening at St. Paul's There will be a preventative health screening sponsored by Watertown Area Health Services on Monday, May 12, 2008 for the community located in our Fellowship Hall. On that day, Life Line Screening will be screening for four diseases that include, stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease and osteoporosis.This is a prevention program, and with early detection, these problems can be treated.The results are sent directly to the participants and referred back to your own doctor. These tests are non-invasive, completely painless and take about ten minutes each and have a minimal cost of $50 each. We offer a price of $119 for the three vascular diseases and $139 for all four tests. Pre-registration is required. Call 1-800-324-1851 for your appointment or for more information. Looking ahead... The pie and ice cream sale will be held at the Fireman’s Park on July the 4th. For the past few years the Schemm family has handled all the details for this. We need someone or some family to pick up the reins for this money making project and organize and handle all the details. If you would be interested in taking on this task, please contact Rori or the church office.
Notice: If you are planning to move or change your address anytime in the future, please notify the office of the change as soon as possible. We have to pay each time someone's address changes. Piggly Wiggly Receipts: This is just a reminder to remember to save your “Pig” receipts and to TRY to bring them in regularly. We recently received $500 in Piggly Wiggly cards which are being used for Vacation Bible School. These cards help us reduce our current expenses for programs at St.Paul’s that require items that can be purchased at the Pig. Thank you for your help in getting these cards. They are invaluable to the continuation of some of the programs here and we appreciate your dedicated response!! Prayer Chain: St. Paul’s has a perpetual Prayer Chain. If you have prayer requests please contact Jan. Any prayer concerns will be kept confidential if requested. If you would like to participate in the prayer chain or would like more information, please contact Pastor Robb at the church office. Brown Paper Bags: The Food Pantry is running short of large brown kraft bags. If you have any, please bring them to church when you come. One or as many as you bring will be greatly appreciated and put to good use. They can be placed next to the wall between Pastor Robb's office and the Nursery. Thanks for your help!

We will continue to rehearse on Mondays May 5th, 12th, 18th in preparation for our start up in the fall. Rehearsals are on Monday evenings from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Show up on one Monday or all three to meet our director and get a taste of what we will be doing next season. The choir will be rehearsing on Wednesday evenings beginning in the fall.
New Outreach Ministry at St. Paul’s In March of 2007 our Prayer Shawl Ministry was started and we have successfully distributed 21 shawls. We are thankful to all who have crafted the shawls and donated the yarn used as well as those who have donated funds. This year we will start a Baptism Quilt Ministry. Quilts will be given to all children who are baptized at St. Paul’s. Eventually we would like to expand our quilt ministry to include graduates and confirmands. These quilts, as the prayer shawls will be a reminder of the fellowship at St. Paul’s and God’s continuing love and care. Each quilt will have a label with the child’s name and baptism date. And as with the prayer shawls will be completely washable and dryable. An easy design has been established using six inch blocks to produce the top of the quilt. If you have sewing skills and fabric and would like to help with this project, please contact the office. You do not have to know how to quilt, tops can just be made. Please keep our ministries in your prayers as we spread God’s love.
