• March’s 3rd Friday Supper—March 18, 6:30-8:00: Yes!  Even on a Friday in Lent we eat great eats at St. Paul’s—albeit of a menu proper for this Season of abistenance and fasting. This time it is vegetarian fare across the board—simply delicious, and cheep too!  $15 per adult, $5 per child, and a family max of $30. Tell and bring friends.  Drop in anytime between 6:30 and 8:00!

• Lenten Food Drive: The Sunday School students continue to encourage us do donate to 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!!!
