Thanksgiving dinner is Sunday, Nov. 11

St. Paul will have a Thanksgiving dinner Sunday, Nov. 11, at noon in Fellowship Hall. All are invited!

The church will provide the turkey, stuffing and potatoes, and members are asked to bring a dish to pass. Donations are being collected to offset the cost of the main dishes. Sign-up sheets for the potluck are at both entrances.

There will be just one service that weekend at 11 a.m. Sunday. Please join us in giving thanks for our many blessings and celebrating with food and fellowship!

Make an appointment for the church photo directory

St. Paul is doing a new church photo directory!

You do not have to pay to have your photo taken, and you will receive a complimentary 8x10 portrait and directory just for participating. You will be able to view your images immediately after photography and purchase additional portraits to share with family and friends, if you wish. You will receive a $10 off coupon toward your portrait purchase if you provide your e-mail address when you sign up.

Sign-up starts Oct. 27-28 and continues for the next three weekends in the gathering area, but online scheduling starts now--just click on the button below and select the date and time that works best for you.

Lifetouch will take photos from 2:30-8:50 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, to Friday, Dec. 7, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, in Fellowship Hall. Please plan to spend about an hour at church to not only have your picture taken, but also view, select and purchase your portraits.

Please do not miss out on this opportunity to build community at St. Paul!
