Easter Lilies
Again this year, we will be decorating the church with 6” potted Easter Lilies for Easter services. Lilies will be $12 each and after Easter services, can be taken home to enjoy or possibly plant. Each Lily can be dedicated to a loved one and dedications will appear in the Easter Bulletins. Simply write your dedication on the “memo line” of your check and place in the Offertory plate or turn into the office. Last day to order your Lilies is Wednesday March 27.

Sunday School Food Drive
Our Sunday School children are having a food drive for their Lenten discipline. Doing something to help others will be a focus of our Lenten lessons rather than “giving up” something. We would appreciate your participation by bringing a food item each Sunday during Lent that will go to the food pantry. We will have a basket in the narthex to collect the food before the service. Most needed: Canned tuna, canned chicken, peanut butter, rice, pasta, oats, dried beans, low sugar cereal.

AED Up and Running
We are pleased to announce that we have a brand-new AED (automated external defibrillator).  It is all charged and currently stored in the office until we find a permanent home

Online Giving Using Cell Phone
Here is an easy way to make a donation/payment to St. Paul’s from your cell phone by sending a text message!!! For example, if you want to donate $50 from your checking account or on a credit card, send a text to 73256 with the text message of…STPAULHB 50. You will receive a reply back saying, “You’re almost there”.  A link is then provided to your Giving Account at St. Paul’s. At this point, you specify the fund (Outreach, Pledge, etc.). Call church office if you have any questions, 707-433-2107.
