+Did you know that a UM EarthKeepers Training will be held right here in the Mountain Sky Conference in October 2023? Global Ministries seeks U.S.-based United Methodists to lead grassroots environmental projects that are action-oriented, antiracist, bold and entrepreneurial. Global Ministries EarthKeepers is a training program that equips US-based United Methodists to launch and grow environmental projects in their communities. Topics include eco-theology, antiracism, community organizing and project planning. All participants plan a project during the training. Registration is open, and more information may be found here: https://umcmission.org/EarthKeepers

+Join us for the St. Paul’s Fall Luncheon on Sunday, September 10. Pulled pork or BBQ chicken sandwiches and lemonade will be provided by the fellowship team. Bring something to add to the meal—salad, coleslaw, chips, dessert—or contribute to the donation basket that day. This will be a great day because the choir will be back from summer break and the food will be wonderful. Be sure to put it on your calendar.

+Fall Study Opportunity—If you’ve ever asked questions about church doctrine, you may enjoy a new Sunday morning class presented by Tim Cook – “Who’s Afraid of Orthodoxy?: Challenges, Misconceptions, and the Promise of Perennial Christian Truth.” This study will be offered at 8:45 a.m. in St Paul’s library, beginning Sunday, September 10. Reading will be minimal (a few handouts), and much  discussion will be encouraged.
