Faith as tiny as a mustard seed...
On October 5, St. Paul's Care Crafters brought their creative spirit to life through a hands-on reflection on Luke 17:1–10. Drawing inspiration from verses 5–6, which remind us that even a small amount of genuine faith—like a mustard seed—can move mountains, they prepared a meaningful activity for attendees. Participants were invited to craft their own mustard seed keepsake, a tangible reminder to center their prayers and nurture their faith, no matter how small it may seem.
Thanks, Care Crafters, for creating such a thoughtful and meaningful keepsake.

Laity Sunday, Hymn Sing, and Food!
The October 19 Sunday service was especially meaningful as it marked Laity Sunday in the United Methodist Church and featured St. Paul's scheduled Fall Hymn Sing after the service.
Laity Sunday, observed on the third Sunday of October, celebrates the ministry and witness of laypeople (non-clergy) in the church. It emphasizes the crucial role they play in the church’s mission and recognizes their contributions both inside and outside the church community.
The hymn sing was well attended, with everyone enjoying singing their favorite hymns. Additionally, there were delicious snacks and refreshments, as shown in the pictures below.
Help Us Fellowship!
Fellowship is at the heart of our church, and we’d love your help to make our after-service social a success. It’s a fantastic way to connect with your church family. Hosting is simple—just bring some favorite finger foods to share, pick up something from the store, and help spark great conversations.
We’re always looking for more individuals or teams to host these socials. Call the office or check the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board to grab your preferred Sunday!

Pastor Rey’s Shepherding Survival Kit…
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind support of the Eve Circle sponsored Trash to Treasures Sale.
Your many donated items and your generous purchases were very important in making the sale a success. This year we made over $2000!
Our priority for using the funds will be trying to improve the lighting in our lovely, but too dark, parlor.

Care Craft Group
The Care Craft Group is a wonderful initiative that brings together people with a passion for crafting and charity. Their bi-weekly gatherings are not just about creating beautiful crafts, but also about fostering a sense of community and kinship. By gifting their handmade items, they spread joy and warmth throughout the community. It's a heartwarming example of how shared interests and generosity can enrich the lives of many. If you're looking to contribute to your community, this group is a delightful opportunity to do both. Projects created to date include: laminated bookmarks, letters included with care packages to those away at school, and paper flowers, Thanksgiving leaves.
Even if you don’t feel you are “crafty”, join us to visit, have coffee/tea and simply enjoy the time together.
