Phone Numbers Wanted!

Instead of advertizing in the newspaper this year, we will be calling congregational members and friends of St. Paul to invite them to join us for our Christmas Eve Worship Services! We will be using the robocall system, which was used to contact you about the pledge drive. The recording that will be used will be made by the Believer’s Club students who will sing a song and then invite them to our services.

If you have family or friends you would like to receive the invitation, please include their name and phone number below. We will not add their names to any mailing or newsletter list, it will only be for the robocall. Please place this sheet in the offering plate or under the office door by Sunday, December 14.

Toot Their Horn

We are blessed to have many volunteers at St. Paul. Do you know someone who volunteers their time and talents at St. Paul? Let us know so we can publicly thank them here! If we list a group of volunteers and we miss your name, let us know!

Thank you to Egil Svennevig, Kurt Yankee, and Richard Hauri for purchasing and installing energy efficient lightbulbs around the church, and for changing the lightbulbs in the sanctuary.

Thank you to Ray Murphy and Gerald Fields for hanging mirrors in the church lounge. They look wonderful and will certainly be helpful for brides who use that room for weddings.

Thank you to the OWLS! You probably know that OWLS meets each month for a potluck dinner and a presentation, but did you know they regularly give to charities and non-profit programs in the stateline area? This past month, the OWLS fellowship gave $50 to the Sparrows Nest, $90 to Caritas for three Turkey Dinners, and $30 to the soup lunches that are held at St. Paul. Thank you to the many folks who attend these events and who give.
