• All-Parish Clean Up Day—March 19: For an hour or more, can you help us clean the Church for Holy Week and Easter?  Please!  Tasks for all ages and abilities await your elbow grease.  Sign up sheets and more information are available after Sunday mass at Coffee Hour, or you may email or phone the parish office.
• Lenten Food Drive Continues: Again, our Sunday School students are coordinating St. Paul's annual Lenten Food Drive.  All food collected will be donated to the food pantry of First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn Heights.  Bins, decorated by our Sunday School students, have been placed in the back of the church to collect donations.  We encourage you to bring the following donations: tuna, pasta, pasta sauce, peanut butter, jelly, juice boxes, canned vegetables, canned soup, and rice. Thank you for any and all donations!!!
