Parish Updates
What's happening with the People and Ministries of St. Paul's?
DOT the Free Food Pantry
Have you seen the new DOT calendar in the conference room hallway? Be sure to take a slip as a physical and visible cue of your intention to "feed" DOT. The need is huge and every donation is greatly appreciated.
From the Gas Card Ministry
Our sincere thanks for all of the wonderful support you have given to this thriving ministry! The supplies food and monetary donations make it possible for our parish to help so many people.
For the months of May and June we would like to focus on socks and new underwear both for men and women. We have been asked if the clothes donated need to be new. We usually say that everything is appreciated as long as it is clean and in good shape. This is a bit different with underwear. How wonderful it will be for our Monday Morning guests to find new undergarments purchased for them!
