Weekly Announcements: Week of Jan. 19th

Semi-Annual Meeting Set for January 26th
On January 26th, we will have our Annual Meeting of the congregation between services. We hope you can attend!

God Squad Update
After a brief time for re-grouping in January, God Squad will resume on February 5th at the usual time, 5:30 to 6:45 pm, if we find additional adult helpers. At the time of this writing, we are still in need of two people to assist on an every-other week rotation until April. The age range for classes are grades K-3 and 4-6. If you are interested in helping to make this very successful program possible, please contact Julie at 468-1968 or stpaullutheranchurch@hotmail.com. Thank you for your concern for the faith formation of our young ones! In Christ, Pr. Joel

Family in Need – Household Items
Thank you for donating items last week to a local family in need. At this time, they are still in need of a twin bed. The other requests have been met, thanks to your donations and those of the community!
Start Collecting Canned Goods 
Don’t forget to start collecting items for the MultiPurpose Center. We will be celebrating the Souper Bowl of Caring on February 2. We’d like to report a really huge amount to the national organization.

Poinsettia Wrap-Up 
Twila has paid the bill at Banks Floral for the poinsettias. If you have not yet paid, the payment in cash to Twila would be appreciated.

Devotions in February  
St. Paul congregation will be responsible for devotions at Care Centers North and South on February 2.
