Next Saturday beginning at noon is our fall Empty Nester Luncheon.  The Confirmation class is your host.  Calling all empty nesters to attend and enjoy some good bonding.

On Sunday, November 11 we will have a cash collection to benefit the capital campaign of Camp Calumet, our Luther Camp in West Osipee, NH.   Camp Calumet Lutheran  serves Lutherans of all ages. The camp has a large summer camping program for youth as well as a family camping program. During the balance of the year the camp serves the needs of retreat goers of all ages. In order to better serve this population, the camp is engage in a three year fund raising program. St. Paul’s church council has pledged to raise $1,000 during this year drive. Of course, it is hoped that more will be raised. The council encourages you to make an offering each of the three years toward camp improvements. Please indicate Calumet on your check.

Our on-going collection of non-perishable single use items for the community meals continues.  The high school class prepares the takeout meals four times a year.  Our goal is 1,000 bags a year.  A good source of food items is the Dollar Tree store in Greenfield.  The class will again package the food on November 11 after church.
