Help to Brighten a Service Members Christmas
This year, consider spreading cheer overseas by writing Christmas cards to soldiers stationed away from home. For security reasons, the USASOA requests that we send the card only – no envelopes please. Cards can range from store bought greeting cards with a handwritten positive message to handmade cards with holiday cheer for the soldiers. St. Paul’s will collect and send the cards. If you are interested in helping out you can use cards you have on hand or if you would like to pick up some blank cards, come to the parish office. We will need to have all the cards dropped off at St. Paul’s by Friday, November 21st.
Help SPY with Operation Christmas Child
St Paul’s Youth is collecting items to fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Donations of small, new toys and hygiene items are gratefully accepted in the bin between the Narthex and Fellowship Hall until Sunday, November 16. See this link for allowed items. New this year-- you can purchase items from our Amazon gift registry, and they will be delivered directly to St. Paul's in time for the box packing.
