Good day, 

Fall quickly approaches but we still have August to go and we have plenty happening right here at St. Paul's!! Please see below for some August events (and a couple things in September).

Also, as we approach Fall, it is a great time for me to update my contact lists. If you would like to be added to other contact lists (Synod Scene, etc.) or removed from any lists, please email the church office. 

Sincerely, 
RJ Chambers

Rwanda Youth Education Update
We received from Rev. Boniface, Youth Education Project Coordinator, a great report about how the youth education project is progressing in Rwanda. It includes some responses from Rwandan youth to letters sent from St. Paul’s youth. If you would like to read the report, please email the church office and we will send the report. It is also posted on the Missions Bulletin Board in the side entrance.

Fall Activities - Mark Your Calendars!
There are already a number of activities in the schedule for the Fall and beyond. Please visit the Events page on the website and start getting these events in your calendars. We have dates set for Games Nights, Square Dances, Gingerbread House Making, and more!! For those interested in subscribing to the calendar, it turns out you can only do so from a desktop computer and only if you use a desktop calendar program. We hope to have a mobile subscription tool at some point in the future but it is not currently available.

St. Paul’s Small Groups this Fall
Please be thinking ahead to the fall, and think about becoming part of a new Small Group at St. Paul’s. As this would be a new group, it could be set up as the members wanted regarding what to study, the time, and place. There are many options – men, ladies, mixed, etc. Please contact Pat Stretch or the office if you are interested.

Picture Bulletin Board - Is It Missing You?
There are still a few gaps on the congregational picture board. Some of those gaps are just big enough to fit your picture!! If you have not already, please send in a copy of your favourite photo to the office (in person or by email to office@stpauls-anglican.ca). Feel free to include pets in your photos. If you do not have a photo but would like to have a photo included, please talk to RJ over the summer and he will take your photo before or after the service.

New Website is Now Live
The new St. Paul's website is now live and can be accessed HERE. It is the same web address as before (www.stpauls-anglican.ca). As a reminder, these announcements will also be posted on the "News" section of the website so be sure to check that out and subscribe there!!
