Sunday Worship and Bible Class Themes: 9am Worship: “Delivered to Declare” Luke 8:26-39 10:15am-11am Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 2.

Throughout the month of June we are encouraging those attending the service to wear their name tags as they enter the sanctuary. This will assist Sam our new DCE intern in getting to know members, and it will help members know one another.

Thank You! I wanted to send a huge thank you to our VBS volunteers and supporters this year. Thanks to everyone who have their time to run and prepare our sites, and to lead children to each station. We cannot have our programming without their help! Thank you also to those who lent us decorations for the building to create our “garden” them. Thank you also to those who helped us with our pizza luncheon on Friday. This year, St. Paul’s VBS reached 44 children from 24 families in our community and surrounding areas. Thanks be to God for this opportunity to serve and minister to our community! Carleigh Ottwell.
