Volunteers are needed to help hide the eggs before
the hunt, and to assist with arts & crafts. Bring a
basket or something in which to carry your collected
Easter Eggs. This is for children ages three through
six grade.
Join us for our annual Easter morning breakfast
at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday, April 5th. Sign-up sheets
are out in the Great Room. Please know that we feed
100 plus people and we would like to make sure that
there is enough food for those at the end of the line
as well those at the beginning. Many donations of
breakfast casseroles, fruit, beverages, and
bagels/Danish are needed. (Nut free goodies,
please.)
Our flower delivery volunteers are dwindling.
Please consider volunteering once a month, once a
season, two times a year, etc. You can tell us when
you are available – we make the schedule out a
month in advance. Sometimes these visits are the
only visit or human contact our homebound members
might have during a day or week. Our current
volunteers are desperate for help. Please contact the
office if you would be willing to help. We used to have
two people each week to deliver flowers on an 8
week schedule. Now, we have about 6 volunteers for
the entire rotation.
Like to golf? Join the Artman 31st Annual Gold
Outing held on

Help needed! Our Holden Evening Prayer
bulletins which we use at the Mid-Week Lenten
services have started to tear at the staples. We
are looking for someone to tape them as needed
after Lent is over so we can put them away ready for
next year. This can be done at the office or at home.
Contact Laura Campbell if you can help. Thank you.
Opportunity to Share your home through Ken
Crest Life Sharing program: The Ken Crest
LifeSharing program provides a stipend ($1700 per
month) for inviting a person into their home.
Information in the Great Room or call member Julie
Sandblade 267-278-2354, for more information about
assisting refugees with transitional housing needs.
Thank you to those who continue to support our
food pantry. This week we served three families. If
you would like to help we could use: canned chicken
& meat; jelly; cereal; staples like flour, cooking oil &
spray, seasonings; condiments, juice, and snack
foods like pretzels and crackers. Toiletries are always
appreciated. Please note that most of our patrons
look for instant coffee when donating coffee.
St. Paul’s is a Stephen Ministry Congregation.
Thank you for remembering those on our prayer
list during the upcoming week. Please contact the
office with any changes to the prayer list.
