** The Board of Trustees has set Saturday, April 22, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., for a Spring workday.  If you’ve never had the opportunity to participate in a workday, you’ve missed a great time.  Enjoy fellowship and friendship with other members while making needed repairs and improvements in and outside our building.  A sign-up sheet is in the Church Office.

 

The May-June issue of THE UPPER ROOM devotional booklet is now available on the table in the Narthex.  Large print - $1; regular - $.75.

 

Biking for the American Lung Association of Maryland (more commonly referred to as the Asthma Ride for Kids.)  Once again, Jim Heins plans to participate in a bike ride to support this important benefit.  Last year he was able to turn in more than $900 on behalf of St. Paul’s UMC and other friends.  If you would like to contribute this year, please leave your check in the office before May 27, made out to the American Lung Assoc. of Maryland, or give Jim a call (301-949-3518) to pick it up.  Jim and all those kids suffering from asthma will be very appreciative.

 

COMING UP/PLAN NOW!  NEW PICTORIAL DIRECTORY (How quickly the last one became obsolete!) – one free 8x10 portrait and directory for each family photographed.  DATES of photo shoots: AUG. 17, 18, 19 (Thurs., Fri., Sat.); OCT. 6, 7, 9, 10 (Fri., Sat., Mon., Tues.)  We strive for 100% participation and won’t be complete without YOU.  Please be available some of those dates.  NOTE: Families with college students, or young ones in fall sports may want the August dates.  Be aware of the photo dates when scheduling camps and vacations.  VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED: Camera buffs to snap candid photos of church activities and of our shut-ins between now and October; Layout persons (with guidance from Olan Mills); Telephone committee; Hostess committee.  To volunteer, call co-chairs Sue Rice (301-946-1758) or Margaret Clark (301-942-5523).  They meet with the Olan Mills rep. on May 16th and would like their lead people in place by then.
