Collections will run now until October 31st!

We will have our annual Veterans Tribute on November 7th during service! If you have anyone you would like featured in the Tribute, please email pictures to jodischuppel@yahoo.com or bring the photo to church! Thank you for supporting our youth and Veterans!!!

Remember to rid your pockets of those noisy, heavy coins you have been carrying in your pockets, we have a container for your convenience on the coffee table in the Fellowship Hall. The coins benefit St. Paul’s Mission Fund.

Bring your food donations to church for our local food pantries. The Mission Committee will delivery the donations for several local food panties serving our community.
