ST. PAUL'S VOLUNTEERS
LOG IN YOUR MISSION HOURS!
We know that many of you offer yourselves to many worthwhile ministries and charities in the community---many of our congregants work on cancer charities and Bike to the Bay, etc., so we want to acknowledge the ways in which you are carrying Christ's message of hope to the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know how many hundreds of hours the people of St. Paul's spend serving others? What a celebration that will be!

Outreach

St. Paul's has a strong history of Mission and Outreach. Although we may not be a mega-church we are mega-mission minded for we know that we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. We invite you to be a part of our Outreach Ministries!

March Pak-A-Sak
March 4th- Please bring your non-perishable foods, on the first Sunday of each month, to the church for the Neighborhood House food closet for our M.O.T. brothers and sisters. |
| WITNESS ABOUT PAK-A-SAK: I decided to begin to "tithe" my weekly grocery budget for Pak-a-Sak. If I spend $100 on groceries, $10 of that goes to Pak-a-Sak. I know that if I use coupons and watch the specials and what I purchase, I can make a difference in a family's life. I have also been appalled at how much food we waste-food that our family just throws out! So in the coming weeks we are keeping watch on what we waste-and pledging for one week NOT TO LET FOOD SPOIL OR GO TO WASTE. I always say I am going on a diet-what better way for us to watch our diet than to give a portion of our "calories" to a family which is having a tough time right now! |

ST. PAUL’S – YOU ARE AWESOME
Not only did we exceed our goal of raising $1,000 ($1,113.03 to be exact) for MOT Big Ball but we also had a fantastic turnout of over 40 people representing our church…..half of whom were playing on the field….all at the same time! It was a real blast. A special thanks to each and every one of you for your efforts to help those in need in the MOT area. --- Bob Wheeler

What do you use as your search engine?
Please start using GoodSearch.com to search the Internet. Every time you search, once you set up SPUMC as your recipient, money goes to St. Paul’s. The site is powered by Yahoo!, so you'll get the same quality search results that you're used to. What's unique is that they have developed a way to direct money to St. Paul’s with every click. The more people who use this site, the more money will go to St. Paul’s. So please spread the word to your friends and family. Go to http://www.goodsearch.com to find out more!!! After only 1 week, we raised $2.31. That means GoodSearch was used 111 times on behalf of St. Paul's in just the past week! What goal could we reach after one year if all St. Paul's members used GoodSearch as their search engine?
