PARTICIPATING IN SUNDAY’S service are Larry Halvorson, Liturgist; Michele Halvorson, Scripture Reader; Michele Halvorson and Sandy Walter, Ushers; and Raimee Williams, video operator. Thank you to everyone!

A TIME OF FELLOWSHIP will follow today’s service. Many thanks to Maryjean Spencer for providing today’s refreshments.

A NEW SERMON SERIES will begin next Sunday, August 2. Rooted in Christ: Love Boldly is a five-week worship series grounded in our baptismal vows wherein congregations are invited to rediscover what it means to love boldly.

ST PAUL TOOK BEST IN SHOW in the Annual Town Parade, which took place on Saturday, June 16. A huge shout out to Leslie and Steve Hinkle for their creativity and hard work on the Rainforest Falls VBS float.

NEW WINDOWS have been installed in the Sanctuary, Video Room, and Fellowship Hall. These new windows are beautiful and energy efficient. Many thanks to the Trustees, especially Michele Halvorson, the project manager, for all the time and effort that went into this project.

WORSHIP IN THE PARK will be held on Sunday, September 6, at 9:30 am at Sundown Park, 6200 Sundown Road. We are excited to be hosting our Hub neighbors for this event! The Olney Hub churches include: Mt. Tabor, Mt. Zion, Salem Brookeville, Salem Cedar Grove, Sharp Street, and Wesley Grove. More to come in August on this exciting collaboration.

SUMMER BREEZE We are in the midst of the slow summer hiatus, when the days are longer (and hotter) and things move a little more slowly. But planning has not stopped and the St. Paul Newsletter will come out soon, so be sure to look for the start-up dates of all the activities that will resume in September: Sunday School, Gather & Grow, The Pastor’s Bible Study, Table Talk, The Wellness Group, and Book Club!
