Office update (from Mark Preece)
Many thanks to our volunteers, who have kept us mostly open during our Wed - Fri, 9 - noon office hours. I've started working through the files, including the photo archive. If you'd like to help with picture sorting, please let me know -- many of them are unlabelled. In the meantime, I'll share here. Watch this space ------->

LISTEN Community Dinners on July 14th and July 21st (from Holly Hall and Harry Kendrick)
Our next LISTEN Community Dinner will be July 14th, organized by Holly and Ev. The following Monday, July 21st, the Kendrick's will organize and serve a meal. There will be two more meals for 2014, one in Sept. and one in November.
For the 14th, Ev and Holly will organize summer salads and dessert. For July 14th, we will plan on feeding 100 people. The menu is for main course and dessert only. Ray (Food Coordinator for Listen) will provide all other foods. Our main courses will be four summer salads- Chicken Salad; Pasta Salad; Macaroni with Tuna; and Black Bean and Corn salad. One prepared salad will serve 10 people. Three people will be needed to sign up for each salad.
For dessert, we will serve vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Ray suggested we can get vanilla ice cream and the chocolate sauce from BJ's.
The salads can be left at the church fridge Sunday, July 13th, or brought to Listen Center between 3PM and 4PM July 14th. There is a sign up sheet in the parish hall. Thank you for your help!
For the 21st, Barwood-Kendrick team will be using the money donated to the church at the bargain bin and will be making pulled pork sandwiches with tossed salad. Most of our supplies have already been donated by Listen. We will need 12 half gallons of ice cream for dessert. We will place a sign up sheet in the Parish Hall.
The attendance for each Listen Dinner has averaged between 80-100 people. One hundred thirty is highest capacity. Thank you for your help in providing a meal for Listen cnter.

St. Paul's Caring Ministries:
Intercessory Prayer Group, Healing Team, Pastoral Care (from Diana Collins)
Is God calling you to intentionally minister to our community? If the answer is "yes" or "maybe" please contact Holly Hall or Diana Collins for more information. While the ministries are different, the common denominator is our caring for one another. All three groups are planning on meeting together every other month for study and to better understand how the ministries interrelate.
