VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL-
Summer plans are being made to help make our 2010 VBS our best yet. Mark your calendars for July 12-16 from 9:30-Noon. Help to spread the word to friends, grandkids, neighbors, cousins, and friends from school.
During the month of March we will be looking for teen and adult leadership. There are many jobs that are needed to provide our children with a safe week full of fun and learning. Please consider coming aboard to provide leadership for this exciting week for our St. Paul children and the children from so many communities. Many teen volunteers are also needed. Please see Susan if you have any questions. Please leave a note in her box or sign up on the clipboard outside of the Sunday School Office. We are so fortunate to have a musical group from Youth Encounter joining us for the week again this year. Should be fun!
Kids-Next month will be your turn to sign up. Can’t wait!

Pastor's Letter
Dear Friends,
This year for our mid-week services during Lent we are going to be doing a study called God’s Appointed Times. In the 23rd chapter of the Book of Leviticus seven festivals are laid out to mark the spiritual year of the Jewish people. There were seven times God called the people to gather to remember, teach and celebrate what God had already done for the people and what God would do for them. These seven festivals have been celebrated by the people down through the ages. They are also seven festivals that we are privileged to see fulfilled in Jesus.
We will look at the festivals of unleavened bread and first fruits, the festival of Pentecost, and the fall festivals of Rosh Hashanah, Tabernacles, and Yom Kippur. On Wednesday March 17th we will have the privilege of hosting a speaker from Jews for Jesus who will do a presentation called Jesus in the Passover. Perhaps you have heard of some of those festivals. For thousands of years God’s people have been celebrated these appointed times. As we spend this time I hope you will come to see them as part of God’s unfolding plan for our world. That in them you will see them each brought into focus in the person, the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday worship on February 17th. I hope you will take the time to join us.
God bless,
Pastor Henderson

Work is underway on the 2010 Vacation Bible School. This year's theme is "High Seas Expedition- Exploring The Mighty Love Of God". The classes will be held July 12 thru 16th from 9:30 to noon. Please plan to join us.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL MEETING-
Believe it or not, it is time to begin making plans for our 2010 VBS week being held July 12-16th from 9:30-Noon. A short meeting will be held on February 28th from 9:00-9:40 in the classrooms across from the Sunday School Office. As we all know, lots of volunteers are needed to plan and carry out a safe and well-planned week for our children and the children in our community. It is our hope to plan early so that we can have our best VBS week yet. If you can help in any way, please join us on February 28th at 9:00. We need folks to step forward now, so that we are ready well before the Summer months begin. If you are unable to attend our meeting, but are able to help, please sign up on the VBS clipboard outside of the Sunday School Office. Thank you to everyone who continues to support our Children’s Ministry programs at St. Paul. Couldn’t do it without you!
