Youth Bowling Event

Attn: 6th graders and up! Veronica Richard, St. Paul's parishoner and former competitive bowler, is helping host a trip to Chipper's on North College to go bowling after church on Sunday, July 27th. We'll meet at the lanes at noon and finish at 2 p.m. Cost is $6.50 per person (includes free shoe rental 'cause we're a church group and 2 games at $3.25 each). Sound fun? RSVP to Karin by July 21st so that we can call and reserve our lanes. Pizza lunch will be provided, but please bring extra money or a sack lunch if you'd prefer not to eat greasy, bowling-alley-concession food. :)

“Men at the Trough” meets @ 11:30 AM for lunch at Farmer’s Table 1035 S. Taft Hill Rd Friday July 25th. Come and join in the fun!

The Outreach Action Team wants to thank all of the parishioners who donated food for the Bike and Build group. The Team would also like to thank the youth group and their advisors for helping with Saturday's meal. We hope everyone who came to the parish picnic got to meet the people of Bike and Build. The 31 bicyclists couldn't get over all the food and the great reception they got from St Paul's congregation. Several have decided to look into CSU for their graduate work now that they have met us and have seen Fort Collins. You can follow their trip to San Francisco on their web site www.bikeandbuild.org . Thank you again.

Charge to the Search Team

We, the Vestry of St. Paul's, charge the Search Team to bring forth one or two candidates, in no order of preference, that the Search Team can commit to serving as Rector of St. Paul's. In so doing, we also charge the Search Team to utilize the parish profile as expressed by the people of St. Paul's.

St. Paul’s is entering into a time of holy listening – discernment – in order to move forward in the search process for a new rector. Please take a moment to become familiar with the description of discernment on the vestry bulletin board in parish hall.

Please support the St. Paul's Outreach Action Team by buying King Soopers grocery certificates and signing up for the Albertson's. grocery card. Look for the sign in the parish hall after each service.

Fr Richard Rohr, founder of the center for Action Contemplation will be in Denver on Saturday, 2 August, from 1-5pm to explore “Scripture as a path to spiritually. Go to www.radicalgrace.orgthingshidden for more info and to register.

The nursery is in need of used educational toys in good condition. If you would like to donate some toys please bring them to the nursery after Sunday services, or during the week to the office.

We are also seeking donations so we can buy a train table (check out the bulletin board in Bacon Hall for a picture of the table) this will go with our brand new train! If you would like to make a donation please make checks payable to St. Paul’s and in the memo line write “Nursery” then just drop it in the collection!

Recycle Aluminum Cans to Benefit Habitat for Humanity: The Outreach Action Team is helping by providing a bin for recycling aluminum cans located in Bacon Hall. You can bring your cans to the church.
