Thoughts from the St. Paul Staff

What Can I Give to St. Paul?

It seems that someone or something is constantly making demands on our ever-shrinking financial resources: the economy takes more of each dollar for daily necessities; luxuries become more and more out of reach; and the funds left for giving dissipate before they reach intended charities or churches.

Any not-for-profit organization always welcomes cash or checks in any amount. St. Paul Church is no exception. However, if that kind of giving is difficult or not possible at this stage of your life-for whatever reason-consider stepping up your giving in another area: time and talent.belief.jpg

Consider donating two hours several times each month to stocking shelves at the food pantry. Help wash dishes after Wednesday night supper in Heritage Hall. Assist with assembling OSP the last Tuesday of each month. Winnow unneeded and unwanted items from closets and shelves and donate them to our Child Study Guild for their semi-annual rummage sales. Crochet a baby afghan to warm a newly christened infant. Weed one of the garden spots around the church. Help out in the church library. Usher at one of our concerts or at a Sunday morning service. Assist Neighbors for Renewal by hammering some nails at the house on H Street.

And please be sure to fill out the Time and Talent Survey each fall so that we are aware of your interests and abilities. Above all, just say "yes" when asked to serve St. Paul. For current giving opportunities, contact me at 593-7794 or via e-mail at wjw57@att.net.

I look forward to hearing from you and to working with you for the good of our church.

Wilma Weisenstein
St. Paul Volunteer Coordinator
