O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure foundation of your lovingkindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Summer Lunch Program July 13th-17th
St Paul's will once again be participating in the summer lunch program. For those who might be new to our parish this is an ecumenical program which has nine area churches that participate. Each church volunteers for one week of the summer to provide lunches to the children living at Northwoods and Hollow Drive residences. The children rely on these lunches to nourish and power them through their summer activities. During our week we meet each morning to prepare the lunches. The lunches are then delivered to an AmeriCorps volunteer for distribution to the children involved with the program.
There will be many ways to be involved. We will need food donations, volunteers daily to prepare the lunches and if you will be away we gratefully accept monetary donations to cover some of the food costs. There will be a sign up sheet in the parish hall this Sunday for food and volunteer opportunities. I hope you consider volunteering, the children really look forward to our lunches! We will be preparing 28 lunches a day this year, so your support will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions please feel free to call or ask me in church. Many thanks for your continued support! Barb Coulter 603-643-1452
