Time to schedule new members class! All meetings will be planned for an hour. I am proposing a  4-week New Members class that meets once a week. It is an introduction to the AME church history, structure, and the Articles of Religion as per our Doctrine and Discipline. The goals are to “Know our Church,” understand what we believe, and get to know ourselves in the process.

The following are proposed times. We will select from these and post the final time soon as we intend to meet this week.

• Wednesday: 6 p.m.- 7 p.m. (before prayer meeting)
• Thursday: 6-7 p.m. (this may not work as the next two Thursdays include games)
• Friday: 6-7 p.m.
• Saturday: 2 p.m. (after choir practice)

Prayerfully, we can all find a common time. God bless!
Rev. Tabor

Due to inclement weather there will be no service at St. Paul on January 18, 2009. Thank You. Stay Safe, Stay Blessed.

There is no Sunday School for January 18th due to ICE. We will post again if service is also canceled.
