Your Help is needed this Sunday
Right after the 10:30 a.m. service this Sunday, I am in need of people of all ages to participate in filming a short promotional video for our upcoming Congregational Retreat in January 2018. It will involve a little “dancing” (using that word VERY loosely) and will only take about 15 minutes. It WILL be fun and there are some surprise appearances. Filming will take place in the Youth Room at approx. 11:35 a.m. There will be donuts! Questions? Contact Jeremy

Congregational Meeting - Tuesday, October 17 at 7 p.m.
There will be a congregational meeting on Tuesday, October 17, at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary at St. Paul’s. We will be looking at three issues:
- The Session would like to transition our Youth Intern position into a Youth Pastor position as Tyler Veltman has been doing the full work of a Youth Pastor. With the congregation’s approval, Session would like to see this transition happen effective January 1, 2018.
- It has been suggested that the $100,000 from the Presbytery of Ottawa for the original purchase of the school be returned to the Presbytery with thanks from the proceeds of the sale of the school.
- The sanctuary renovations were over budget by $25,000. The Session seeks to homologate (approve after the fact) the actions of the Board in increasing the budget.
