Todd Schreiber graced St. Paul’s during the June 15 service by sharing his musical talents. Thank you, Todd!
Jennifer Johnson blessed St. Paul's with her flute performance on Sunday, June 22.
During her childhood, Jennifer was an active member of Saint Paul United Methodist Church, often playing the flute during services. She is delighted to have resumed her musical contributions now that her husband, Paul, and their children, Audrey and William, are part of the congregation.
Take a look at the innovative bulletin board that Kathy Heatherly and her sister Carol Farmer recently designed and displayed. It is exceptionally creative!
Come worship with us each Sunday, then join us for the social hour for great fellowship and refreshing snacks!

Psalm 23 Project:
The Care Craft Group undertook a special project for Pastor Rey, creating Psalm 23 bead chains. Each bead symbolizes a segment of the Psalm, serving as a reminder of God’s presence with us. Pastor Rey will distribute these bead chains during his visits to shut-ins and those unable to attend church.

The Care Craft Group meets every other Thursday at 9:30 AM in Fellowship Hall.
Care Craft Group
The Care Craft Group is a wonderful initiative that brings together people with a passion for crafting and charity. Their bi-weekly gatherings are not just about creating beautiful crafts, but also about fostering a sense of community and kinship. By gifting their handmade items, they spread joy and warmth throughout the community. It's a heartwarming example of how shared interests and generosity can enrich the lives of many. If you're looking to contribute to your community, this group is a delightful opportunity to do both. Projects created to date include: laminated bookmarks, letters included with care packages to those away at school, and paper flowers, Thanksgiving leaves.
Even if you don’t feel you are “crafty”, join us to visit, have coffee/tea and simply enjoy the time together.
Music in the Parking Lot!
