         This will be followed by the annual Ice Cream Social in the Commons.  The ice cream will be provided.  Each family is asked to bring a topping to share.

    SUNDAY SCHOOL REGISTRATION
         This year we will be registering each child for Sunday School so that we have proper information for the children.  The teachers will also be handing out brief bios to the parents so that parents and teachers get to know one another a little bit better.  Registration forms are on the back table.  You may fill them out and leave them in the box provided.

         The St. Paul’s Church campout will be at Angostora Reservoir on September 5th-7th (Friday night through Sunday morning.)  Each family will pay for their own campsite ($12 - $16).  This recreation offers fun for all including parks, boating, swimming, fishing, Frisbee golf, hiking, campfire gatherings, and more.  More information will be in next week’s newsletter.
