SUMMERTIME TEAM UPDATES

• TEAM KITCHEN:  Team Kitchen is closing in on the finish line!  New counter tops are being fabricated and are to be installed very soon.  The restroom floor work is not to begin the week of August 16.  Nice work! 
• TEAM EXTERIOR:  Exterior work on our fence and doors begins this Saturday, August 8.  If you’d like to help, please contact Doug Munson through the parish office.  If you know the need for this work, but are unable to labor, you can contribute by clicking here.
• WHILE WORK IS IN PROGRESS the Hall and Church continue to be used daily for parish and community-service meetings.  The only thing “lagging behind” is donations!  Please encourage your family and friends to help this team meet its goal in order that St. Paul’s may better serve.
• CHOOSE A TEAM: GET INSPIRED.  Did you choose a team yet?  We are hoping everyone will participate in some way.  There are 4 Teams:  Basement, Kitchen, Rectory, and Exterior.  For more information about each team's project and the many ways you can help, check out www.gofundme.com/stpauls
