SUMMERTIME TEAM UPDATES

• TEAM KITCHEN:  On the weekend of July 18/19, Team Kitchen will install new counter base units in the parish hall kitchen. Soon, the rotting restroom floor to be replaced!  This necessary work is to help keep our building safe and serviceable to all who use it.   While work is in progress the Hall continues 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   .
