To our St, Paul family, The Deaconess ministry wishes to thank you for attending last Sunday's ministry fair. So many of you attending were able to meet new and old friends as well as learn about the various ministries in St. Paul's. We do want you to think about and join at least one ministry which can use your talents and skills. We know that God is able to provide and with constant prayer we all can continue to move our church and community forward to new places.

St. Paul's extends sincere sympathy to the following family........Brother Terrence Williams at the loss of his father, Deacon Lawrence Williams. Please keep the family in your prayers.
