Church Family the following three items will help us serve with greater efficiency:
Any items that you need to be placed in the Sunday Bulle�n must be submited to the Church Office by noon on Wednesday. You may email your announcement informa�on to assistantsecretary@stpaulsbap�st.org. If informa�on is received a�er the deadline, it will be placed in the next upcoming Sunday Bulle�n.
Any in-service Ministry announcements can be sent to spbcannouncementministry@gmail.com. They will announce Pastoral Emphasis and St. Paul’s ministry news only. The deadline is Monday to be announced 2 weeks out.
Any item of informa�on for Pastoral Emphasis, or if you are reques�ng to make an announcement on Sunday, must be submited by noon on Friday. You may either call 610.692.2446 Ext. 140 or email your announcement informa�on to churchoffice@stpaulsbap�st.org. We realize that things do happen between Friday and Sunday and that the need may arise wherein someone has to get a note to Pastor. However, in an effort to give Pastor minimal distrac�ons on Sunday mornings as he prepares for worship, aside from an emergency, please refrain from sending a note to Pastor reques�ng that he make an announcement.
Acknowledgements.........Condolences
Dear Pastor Croft and St. Paul's family,
We would like to take a moment to thank you for the cards sent, phone calls, emails, prayers, and text messages of support we received as we celebrated the life of my sister, Beverly Rowell Scaife who went home to be with the Lord. Your acts of kindness and love have been a great help through this difficult time. We are forever grateful. Please continue to pray for our family as we go forward trusting God. We will also continue to pray for you as well.
Blessings and love,
Bro. Proctor and Deacon Ghana Rowell and family
