The Spiritual Growth Committee is planning the St. Paul’s, Ivy second annual day-long pilgrimage to Washington’s National Cathedral on Thursday, May 29, 2008. The cathedral is a spectacular example of Gothic revival architecture, and is the episcopal seat of our Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. Our pilgrimage will include a tour of the cathedral as well as opportunities for silent meditation and prayer. For more information, contact the Spiritual Growth Committee or the church office.
All Acolytes are invited for a day trip to Busch Gardens on Thursday, June 3, as a token of the parish’s appreciation for their service, and to celebrate the end of the school year. We’ll leave early and get back late; for more details or to sign up, contact Tim Tolson. Friends and siblings are welcome to come along but must pay their own way.
We need your help in identifying those of our parish in need of this gentle and most welcome service. Please contact the Caring Committee chair or church office.
Assistance is needed for delivering altar flowers for October (1 person), November (1person), and December (1 person). We need 9 volunteers to adopt shut-ins from our parish. There are three of these people who have no one to visit them at present. Contact the Caring Committee if you have a bit of time to share with someone in need of a smile.
The Communications Committee is collecting photographs of St. Paul’s, Ivy - the buildings, gardens, people and the myriad of events that have taken place here through our long history. Pictures are needed for use on our website and in our newsletter and brochures. Pictures may be in any format - printed or on disc, or may be sent electronically. Printed pictures will be scanned and returned to you promptly.
If you have photos that we may use, please contact the Webmaster or the church office.
The Outreach Monthly Food Pantry is in need of a regular supply of brown paper grocery bags to package food and other items for our Outreach families. Bags may be left in the little kitchen next to Neve Hall. Thank you for your help!
