GRAND-FAMILIES: Grand-families meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month in the Parlor. We will meet Saturday, April 24, at 10:30 am.
PROPERTY WORK WEEK: There will be a Property Work Week April 26-30. We will concentrate on trimming bushes and cleaning the beds. Work will begin at 6:00 pm and end by 8:00 pm. Arrive as you are able. We will work each evening until the job is completed. I thought this might give some people a chance to help without disrupting a weekend. Any and all help is welcome. Thank you in advance. Please contact Tim Martin.
FOOD OUTREACH: Delivery of hot meals continued on March 19. We also delivered boxes of shelf-stable foods to several families in need. We are thankful for the response from you. Our hope is to maintain the servant project, once a month, through the year, recognizing an essential need in the community and to keep communication with some of our members, too. The following suggested items are always appreciated: cereal, soup, pasta, canned meats (such as tuna, salmon, turkey, chicken), boxed potatoes, gravy, and peanut butter. The next scheduled delivery date is April 23. Monetary donations can be made to the church with FOOD OUTREACH on the memo line. Questions or suggestions, please contact Bonnie Thompson, Debbie Illencik, or Grace Shiau.

ST. PAUL YOUTH UPDATE FROM STACEY ALTIERE
Youth Group
There will be NO Youth Group tonight in observance of Easter Sunday. Our next gathering will be on Sunday, April 18. Weather permitting, we will be visiting our community garden plot to strategize for spring in lieu of meeting at the church. More details will be sent to the families as the date approaches.
Community Garden
It is almost time to start getting our hands dirty! I recently learned the property we have been given is fenced in and has a small stage (yes, my wheels are already grinding). This creates additional opportunities for volunteers to paint, etc. Please contact Debbie Groves or Stacey Altiere if you would like to sign up for this spring.
So many things to be grateful for…
My deepest gratitude to the congregation, our families, and friends for supporting the Easter Project, Purse Project, Noisy Change, and Lenten Offering Boxes. Not many church families are able to juggle and support multiple projects at the same time and we just did FOUR in March! Grand totals and pictures will be posted in the coming weeks. ... See more
