UPCOMING EVENTS

• OCTOBER IS STEWARDSHIP MONTH  Every October, members of St. Paul’s are encouraged to reflect on how we are caring for, and deploying the gifts that God has given to us.  After reflection, each parishioner and friend will be given a “pledge card” to fill out and return to the parish office.  On it will be opportunity to share with the Treasurer how much you pledge to donate to St. Paul’s during 2016.  (If your life circumstances change for the better or worse during the year, your pledge may be changed by notifying the Treasurer.  These commitments are held private.)
• ARE YOU UP FOR A HIKE?  If you would like to join fellow parishioners on a crisp fall's day-hike in the nearby Catskills on Saturday, October 10, please ask to speak with either Jenni or Sam Kessler, or contact the parish office.  "The whole earth is filled with His glory!"
• COFFEE AND GOOD GOODIES RETURN with the return of our regular schedule.  This means that opportunities to help maintain coffee hour—goodies brought from home, elbow-grease in set-up and cleanup, a chance to sing “Happy Birthday” to your fellow parishioners, and a chance to visit with old and new parishioners.  We really need people to join our Hospitality Guild.  Service is on a rotational basis.  Ask to speak with JillEllyn Riley to learn more.
