Jennifer Johnson blessed St. Paul's with her flute performance on Sunday, June 22.
During her childhood, Jennifer was an active member of Saint Paul United Methodist Church, often playing the flute during services. She is delighted to have resumed her musical contributions now that her husband, Paul, and their children, Audrey and William, are part of the congregation.

The Care Craft Group meets every other Thursday at 9:30 AM in Fellowship Hall.
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.
