AN IMPORTANT WORD
The church has moved into the season of the year when people often forget to financially support the church work that goes on even in the summer months. We still have utilities, staff salaries and much more to keep in mind. People vacation, but the work of the church never stops. You can mail your offerings in or, better yet, schedule online with your bank for automated offerings.
Please remember to give as generously to support the work of St. Paul's throughout the spring and summer months as you already have done throughout the rest of the year. Thank you and God Bless You.
