Pennies for Mission June Soul Food
Soul Food is an outreach ministry that provides a meal to members and friends of St.
Paul's who are shut-in. Most recipients are senior citizens who are part of the
Community Action Senior Nutrition Program. Soul Food is usually held the third
Tuesday of each month. Members of the church prepare the meal at St. Paul's during the
day and volunteers deliver the dinners to the shut-ins. Your gift will help us to purchase
the supplies for the meals. It costs approximately $200 per month to sustain this
ministry.

Service in Mission
The Adult Sunday School Class is stepping out in service and mission by undertaking a
series of mission projects. The class meets in the library at 9:30am each week. Class
time is relaxed, conversational, and informal, as we share, read and discover God
purpose for our lives while learning how to apply Biblical instructions to our lives.
Sunday School is a discipleship tool where people learn to think and act like Jesus
through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Senior Food Pantry will be supported during
this second quarter of the year.

Requested items are as follows:
Soup -single serve microwaveable
Hormel Complete Meals-microwave
Fruit cups, applesauce, pudding-4 packs preferred
Instant Oatmeal Packets
Vienna Sausages, Spam, meat (anybody protein)-single serve
Canned potatoes
Single serve meals of any type that are microwavable.
Special Note: NO Ramen Noodles.

Liturgists Needed
Liturgists are needed especially for the 10:45 service. Please consider volunteering to
help lead St Paul's services. Anyone that is interested, please contact Dawn in the office
at 301-334-2391 or stpaulsumcoakland@gmail.com. Thank You!

St Paul's UMC Dedicates a New Ramp and Lift to Honor the Leighton Family
On Sunday, August 25th, St. Paul's United Methodist Church dedicated the new ramp, expanded concrete entranceway, and lift into the sanctuary to honor Dr. Barbara Leighton, Dr. Herbert Houck Leighton and his wife, Dorothy Brock Leighton. The ramp's architect for the design and construction of the project was John C. Wilmot. This project culminates endeavors of the church to ensure the church is accessible to include the creation of a wheelchair accessible restroom on the sanctuary level.

St. Paul's welcomes all to join us in worship on Sunday mornings at 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Now, all can enter our sanctuary safely and with ease in accessibility.
