Parish Wide Retreat
St. Paul’s Mission — Seeking Christ, Serving Christ and Sharing Christ with All People — is very familiar to the majority of St. Paul’s congregation. Rev. Ronda and the Vestry invite the congregation to join them at a Kick Off Retreat as we begin planning a new church year. Among the things we will be discussing are the ways we are currently fulfilling our mission and ways to expand our mission to meet the needs of the congregation and the Romeo community. The Retreat is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24th from 1:30 pm to approximately 4:00 pm at the home of Senior Warden, Ellie Stryker. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Please plan to join us. We value your presence and wisdom.
Mission Trip Update
One of St. Paul’s longest and most successful outreach programs has been our yearly mission trip to Grace House on the Mountain in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. Susan and Mike Wilson once again represented St. Paul’s and joined a group of fourteen volunteers who provided essential home improvements that enhanced the quality of life for residents in need. I have posted Susan’s complete report on the bulletin board in the coffee area. This is a perfect example of seeking, serving and sharing Christ. Talk with Susan or Mike if you want more information or if you think you would like to join the group next year.
