Saturday, October 18th, 9:30–11:30 am: Set-up, pre-show, and sale in the sanctuary Full-size quilts $100, Child-size $50. Please join us on Sunday, October 19th, when quilts will be blessed and on display in the sanctuary during both services. Our quilting ministry began back in the mid-1990s when a group of St. Paul’s ladies began making quilts and shipping them off to Lutheran World Relief. As the number of quilts grew, so did the cost of shipping and packing. Therefore, our NC Snyod recommended that quilting groups begin to support local nonprofits. While our current quilters still support the mission of Lutheran World Relief, the quilts they make now mostly get donated locally. So far in 2025, quilts made by our St. Paul’s quilters have been donated to: The Farm – A Safe Place to Go Family Promise of the Lower Cape Fear Guardian Ad Litem, Dept. Of Health & Human Services Lutheran Disaster Relief – Western North Carolina AHEPA Senior Living – American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association YWCA – Grandparents Raising Children Program

All are invited to join our St. Paul’s Youth as we participate in the community meal packing event at St. James Episcopal. Meal packing includes measuring rice and dehydrated veggies, labeling, and weighing. All ages can help! The goal is to pack 50,000 meals

Want to help support the Dwelling (one of our sites from our service trip this past summer) and participate in a community service project? Help St. Paul’s make tied-fleece blankets! Blankets will be made during October 19th’s youth group, but can be made at home. Fleece and instructions are available. Contact Deacon Susan for more information.
