During the Season of Advent we invite you to participate in a Reverse Advent by giving a gift a day to support one of the ministries of St. Paul Church. Each day during Advent we ask that you place one food item for our Food Pantry or a pair of mittens, a hat, etc., or a personal toiletry item such as toothpaste, soap, etc. in the bags available on the welcome tables.

Come have “A Cup of Christmas Tea” with the St. Paul United Methodist Women Saturday December 15 at 9:30 am in the Youth Room. The mission focus is helping to keep the food pantry stocked so please bring non-perishable food items. There will be a cookie swap so if you would like to take cookies home please bring 3 dozen cookies, cookie recipe, and an empty container to take all kinds of cookies home.  The officers for 2019 will be installed that morning. For more information contact Carolyn Willis or Diane Mackey.

We had a total of 929.97 pounds of produce harvested from our garden this year.  This produce was given to our local community through the St. Paul Food Pantry.  June 7^th – November 12^th. A Huge thanks to: Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Boy Scout Troop, Childcare Center, Other St. Paul Attendees for growing this bountiful harvest this year! If anyone would like to help with and/or donate to this cause, please talk to Sammy.

Seeing a child’s face brighten up on Christmas morning when there are presents under the tree is priceless! Once again, we will be making this happen for some local children. So please consider blessing a child with a gift or two this Christmas Season. Choose a slip from the Christmas Blessings Display. Return the Gift and Slip to the Church by Monday DECEMBER 10. Donations of Money will also be accepted.  A team of shoppers will buy the remaining gifts.
