The people of St. Paul celebrate a day of many new beginnings
on September 12...a new season of learning ministries, a new season
of worship life, and a new chapter of life for Parish Administrative
Assistant Tina Bascom, who completes her work among us and prepares
for a move to a new home. Our annual church picnic on this day will
provide an opportunity to say farewell to the Bascoms and to thank
Tina for her ministry among us. Plan to share in this festive day
of worship, community life, and new beginnings!
