+The Trustees are investigating the installation of a hearing loop in our sanctuary to help people who have trouble hearing the service. This technology is most convenient for people who have hearing aids with telecoil, or T-Coil, function. (About 80% of today's hearing aids have this function--you might have a T setting on your hearing aids, or the function may be built in.) For those who don't have hearing aids or do not have T-coil function, we could also provide headphones each week that connect to the hearing loop. If you have trouble hearing the service in the sanctuary--anything that comes through the sound system, including Pastor Charles, the liturgist, and prayer requests--and are interested in finding out more about hearing loops, please contact Suzanne Polacek (303-709-6676).  She plans to set up a Zoom meeting to provide more details to interested parties and get input. She is also planning a visit to a site with a hearing loop already installed to experience the difference herself, so let her know if you are interested in that experience.

+We are going to begin printing wedding anniversaries in St. Paul’s UMC newsletter. Please submit your wedding anniversary (month and date—year is optional) to the church office at office@saintpaulsboulder.org.
