Easter Flower Delivery Help Needed

On Easter Sunday, we deliver the plants from the altar to parishioners who are homebound or not able to attend service.  If you would like to help us in this joyful ministry, please see Christine MacNally at coffee hour or contact her at 978-975-1052 or cmacnally66@hotmail.com

Undie Sundays through Lent

The Undie Sunday drive for Communities Together begins Sunday, March 5th,  and continues through Lent.  Please consider donating diapers, pull ups, undies, and socks.  There will be a marked collection box in the vestibule.

       

Manos Felices~Happy Hands at Hancock; Birthday in a Box

Most of us have happy memories of our childhood birthdays, but many of the children attending Manos Felices had never had a birthday party or cake until Communities Together started Birthday in a Box. Imagine a child having to watch his or her birthday come and go, with no celebration to mark the day?

St. Paul’s is the proud, annual March supporter for Birthday-in-a-Box!  If you would like to donate one or more of the following items for their Birthday Box, please contact Cheryl Means, Outreach & Mission Committee Chair, who will collect the items for delivery to their party at the end of March. We thank you for your support of this important program.

(Please note that we plan on 20 children in attendance at the party)

*sheet cake or cupcakes

*Hoodsie ice cream cups

*paper plates, napkins, plastic forks

*juice boxes

*one box of birthday candles

*one bag of balloons (not inflated)

*one plastic table cover (6 foot table)

*two large garbage bags

*boys birthday cards

*girls birthday cards

*one small party favor (not to exceed $1. per child)
