SYNOD ASSEMBLY
Cindy Bowden and LeEster Burch will be representing St. Paul as voting members at the Synod Assembly in early May. In addition to asking for a monetary offering, we will be supporting Lutheran Disaster Response. There are two ways to support: In response to the disaster at the border, there is a need for new or used (clean) tennis shoes. We will also be adding some items to Disaster Buckets. This five gallon bucket is filled with various necessities when a natural disaster strikes. The SW conferences have been assigned specific items. The Hill Country Conference is asked to supply long handled scrub brushes and work gloves. There will be a labeled box in the Narthex for donations until May 2. Thank you very much!
