September Lay Assistants' Schedule

Small Plates

The September Small Plates will focus on the Election of the 11^th Bishop of Western New York – we will talk about the polity of the church, the role of the Bishop, the candidates for our new Bishop and the process of electing and consenting to the election of a Bishop.

The Small Plates Class will be in the parish hall from 9:15 – 9:45 on September 19, 26, and October 3.

Bishop Michael is Coming

Bishop Michael’s last visit with us will be on Sunday December 5.  He will be retiring at the end of April.  Since the Bishop is coming that means that it is time for Confirmation and Reception classes.

If you:

You are eligible for Confirmation

If you:

You are eligible to be Received into the Episcopal Church

The preparation for Confirmation and Reception are the same.  Pastor Vicki will be conducting preparation classes beginning October 10.  The classes will take place in the Parish Hall from 9:15 to 9:45 from October 10 through November 21.

See Pastor Vicki if you have any questions.

Backpack Blessing & Sunday School Kick-off

The Diocese of Western New York has picked up the idea of a backpack blessing.  Churches all over the Diocese, including St. Paul’s will be blessing backpacks on Sunday, September 12.

We will bless backpacks for students of all ages, teachers, administrators and anyone else who wants to bring one, at 9:50 a.m. as a part of the kick-off of the Sunday School year.

We will gather in the front of the church – if it rains in the parish hall – bless the backpacks and send the children and youth to church school with our blessing – and then head into the sanctuary.

We will also be collecting school supplies for School 6 in Buffalo – there will be bins in the church and in the library to drop off your supplies – all school supplies are welcome.

Please invite your friends and neighbors to join us for the blessing of the backpacks and the Sunday School celebration.

Ministry Fair

It is time for our second annual ministry fair.  The Ministry Fair will be held on September 26 in the parish hall during coffee hour.  Every group and ministry in the church is invited to set up a table telling a little about your ministry and giving people an opportunity to volunteer to help with your ministry.  All you need is a few signs, a sign up sheet and someone to stand behind the table telling people about your group or project.  Please let the office know if you would like a table space for your group.  If you want to set up your table at 9 a.m. you can also talk to the people who attend the 8 o’clock service about your ministry or group.
