CHRISTMAS SHOEBOXES
We are again supporting Samaritan's Purse with the collection of toys, school supplies and other treats for Christmas shoeboxes. These boxes, filled with love, are sent to needy children around the world, bringing a bit of happiness to families in otherwise desperate circumstances. If you would like to pack a shoebox, please contact the church office at [email protected] Filled shoeboxes' must be returned to the church by November 10.
HARVEST FESTIVAL
On October 25 we invite all ages to gather at the church for an evening of games, crafts, pumpkins and of course food. We will of course need a LOT of volunteers to help make this exciting evening a success. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the church office. During October we will be asking families to register for this event, so we know how many goodies to prepare. We will also be collecting individually wrapped candy because we just have to have a candy hunt!
GRIEFSHARE - "Surviving the Holidays"
Bittersweet memories. Loss of traditions. An empty seat at the table. The holiday season can trigger sadness and despair for people grieving a loss. If you, or someone you know, is experiencing such loss, please contact us and join us for a 2-hour event called Surviving the Holidays where we talk about how to deal with grief around the holiday season: The class will be held Saturday, November 24. 1:00-3:00 pm, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, [email protected].

The full 13-week GriefShare program will be held on Tuesday evenings, beginning January 7.
