Summer Forum has Guest Speakers from St. Paul's Family
From July 12 through August 23, the Sunday Forum will be led by guest speakers from our St. Paul's church family giving presentations on a wide range of topics. The Forum meets in St. Paul's Library after the Sunday service and enough time to chat and grab a snack and something to drink at coffee hour in the Parish Hall. A few minutes before starting time someone will ring a bell to announce the forum is about to begin.
Cindy Gill-Sams led the July 12th Forum, "What in the World? Zambia," discussing her mission trips to Zambia, promoting programs for children with birth defects and their mothers and helping establish speech therapy programs for the underserved in that country. Jaylene Whitehurst will lead the forum on "Pairing and Sharing--Connection Building" on Sunday, July 19th.
July Outreach for West Clinic Patients
During July, we are collecting new throws and small blankets for patients receiving cancer treatment at the West Clinic in Corinth. You may place items in the bins by the baptismal font on Sundays or when the church office is open. Or leave them on the porch bench by the front door as long as you let someone know they are there
Thank you to all who donate generously to Outreach at St. Paul's.
Give & Take Table in the Parish Hall
Have you noticed the long table in the parish hall between the 2023 and 2013 St. Paul's Pentecost Day pictures of our congregation? It's a place to give things you think would interest others at St. Paul's. (No clothing at this time, please.) Items left for longer than four weeks will be donated to the Salvation Army or Goodwill or another charity that could use them. You are welcome to bring a few items each month and to take anything that appeals to you.

Taizé Service on First Sunday Evenings
Invite a friend to our Taizé service at St. Paul's on the first Sunday of each month (unless a schedule change is announced) at 5:30 pm. This refreshing service with candles, a prayerful form of music, and centering prayer, is a great way to start your month.
Chair yoga on Thursdays at 10:00am
Certified yoga instructor Karen Beth Martin leads a chair yoga class in our parish hall. The gentle exercises in the class, using a chair for standing and seated yoga-based positions, are geared toward seniors and tailored to the abilities of those attending. The classes are open to all in the community who want to improve strength, flexibility and balance. A $5 donation is suggested but not required.

Eating Disorders Anonymous has Changed Location
The Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA) group that met at St. Paul's on Saturday mornings at 10am has changed its meeting location. "The only requirement for membership is the desire to recover from an eating disorder. There are no dues or fees. There are no diets or food plans. Balance - not abstinence - is our goal. We focus on solutions to issues so we can lead happy and purposeful lives." For more information on the new location, contact corinthEDA@gmail.com.
A Prayer for St. Paul's
O Lord, we ask your blessing on us as a community of faith. Guide us as we search for right paths in our common journey. Challenge us always to be open to the views of others, for it is only with tolerance and understanding that we grow. Fill us with a generous spirit that through our abundance we will share with those in need. Inflame our passion to discern the ministries to which you call us, and give us the courage and determination to live our call. As we gather in your name, remind us never to hold each other's hand so tightly that we cannot make room for others in the circle, and, dear Shepherd, grant us the love and grace to face our tomorrows without fear by always entrusting our todays to your care and guidance. Amen. Prayer composed by the Rev. Dr. Nicholas Phillips
