Please don’t forget this Sunday, immediately following worship, we will be having a church luncheon. Hopefully, everyone can come and don’t forget to invite someone to church and have them join us for a time of lunch and fellowship.

This is a great opportunity for St. Paul’s to establish a presence in the community as a church that cares for all of its neighbors and to develop some meaningful relationships that can be transformative. On June 17th, immediately following the service, (yes, I know it’s Father’s Day) we will have a 10 minute meeting to share some basic information with all of the volunteers. Please try to make this meeting and invite anyone who would like to participate even if they haven’t signed up. Then, on June 23rd, we will have a 1 hour training session from 10am – 11am. If you have any special skills that we should be aware of that can help the block party be a success please contact Andy Odle at Andy.Odle@churchonthestreet.com

The Parables—Stories You Remember. If you’re an adult and want Bible study this summer, here’s a good option during the Sunday school hour. Each week we’ll be looking at one of the parables Jesus told and searching in the context to find out why He told it. Planting seed, treasure in a field, weeds—it’s easy to remember the stories, we want to dig deeper for the lessons. For any questions contact Dale at dale@stpaulsatlanta.com.
