TheUganda MissionProject
The Uganda Mission Project is a program of the Canaan Family Life Center, a non-profit, 501 3c organization. St. Paul’s Baptist Church recently made over 100 dresses for girls of all ages. For some Ugandan girls this will be the only dress they have.
The Uganda Mission Projects has many other projects including two that St. Paul’s is committed to supporting. The first project that provides feminine products to young women that makes it possible to regularly attend school. The second project provides new or gently used (refreshed) neckties for men in need of a necktie.
You can help by giving an offering or donating a necktie. Be sure to put Uganda Mission Project on your envelope. Please remember to pray for the Uganda Mission Project.
If you have questions, or would like to know more, please see Sis. Shirley Haines, Sis. Rita Waters, or Bro. Larry Wright.

Many people in the United States have some protection, or immunity, against COVID-19 due to vaccination, previous infection, or both. This immunity, combined with the availability of tests and treatments, has greatly reduced the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 for many people.
The CDC has stated “We’re in a stronger place today as a nation, with more tools—like vaccination, boosters, and treatments—to protect ourselves, and our communities, from severe illness from COVID-19. We also have a better understanding of how to protect people from being exposed to the virus.”
Because we have better tools to protect ourselves against COVID19, the CDC has lifted most COVID19 restrictions. However, we are recommending that we gradually reduce mitigation strategies against COVID 19 for our congregation.
Our first step is that we will no longer require social distancing for our Sunday services. We will still require masking at all times while in the sanctuary. We will continue to encourage anyone who is feeling ill to please stay at home. We are requesting people who are immunocompromised or have other chronic illnesses to wear N95 protective masks. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated and boosted.
We will continue to closely monitor COVID 19 data locally and nationally over the next few weeks. We will revisit COVID19 mitigation strategies for St. Paul’s Baptist in October. We thank you for your cooperation.
