FOOD PANTRY REPORT FOR JANUARY
Thanks so much to the 9 wonderful workers and 3 children that helped at the food pantry today. We wish to thank all of you for donating fruits and vegetables to our pantry. It means so much to the people we serve. Also it helps to keep our expenses down. Our budget is being expended very rapidly and we need to find ways to raise money if we are going to keep our food pantry running. We are also looking into ways we can raise funds for the food pantry. If you have any thoughts, ideas, etc., please let us know.
For the months of February and March, we are having a fundraiser for Hams and Turkeys for Easter. We need everyone’s help. If you can donate either funds for the hams/turkeys or purchase hams/turkeys would be great. Whatever you can do will be appreciated.
We also want to thank everyone for the donations of meat.
This month we had a total of 187 individuals, which included 72 children, 91 adults, 24 elderly and 57 households served.
Each month brings new people in. We really need hamburger (one pound packages), hot dogs, cereal or oatmeal. Fresh fruit and vegetables we always need.
Thank you so much for helping.

!!!ATTENTION!!!
We need volunteers to take the trash to the dump. One
of our past volunteers is no longer able to do this, so
if you have a truck and can help out, let the vestry person
of the day or myself know. If we have a couple of people you
will only have to do it once per month. We have four trash
cans that will hold about two weeks of trash. I have stressed
to people putting trash in the cans to bag it!
We also need volunteers to sign up for Kitchen team leaders to
take care of refreshments after the 10:30 service. This is very
simple, just make coffee and provide donuts, cookies, or even
bake a cake. It has come down to the same people handling this
every week, and we all need to take part. With the number of
families we have at St. Paul's, you would only have to do it
one or two times per year. This is a great way to be involved!
So PLEASE sign up. There is a sign-up sheet on the mailbox table
in the front hallway.
Thank you!

Interested in Community Prayer?
I am interested in starting a midday intercessory prayer group, using the Order of Service for Noonday from The Book of Common Prayer. The day and time will be dependent on interest.
I think that an intercessory prayer group could be a valuable addition to our community’s ministries in several ways:
1) The service is simple and straightforward, providing an opportunity for each member of the group to lead the service and thereby exercise his or her ministry in a liturgical capacity;
2) The service provides a time for a silent or spoken meditation, allowing time for either contemplative prayer or a reading from devotional literature, which could stimulate conversation along spiritual lines;
3) There is also a time allotted for free intercessions and thanksgiving, granting the group a time to lift up its needs and concerns, as well as thanksgivings, for ourselves, the Church, and the world; and finally,
4) As the service is at midday, we could have a meal afterwards, either at a restaurant or potluck, for a time of fellowship.
If you are interested in this opportunity, contact
