Need a good way to start your day?  Consider listening to the daily devotion from Pastor Will Weedon on the  Lutheran Public Radio app entitled "The Word of the Lord Endures Forever".   Currently, Pastor Weedon is working through some of the Psalms.  The podcasts are approximately 15 minutes long and are perfect to listen to on your drive into work or any time during your day.  

Lunch bags for decorating will be available on the LWML table in the narthex for anyone wishing to do so.

Donations

St. Paul’s along with the other churches in the Triad communities will be participating in the Summer Lunch Program again this year!  Donations of individual fruit cups or pudding cups, individual chips, and individual snack cakes or cookies along with regular boxes of cereal would be greatly appreciated.  Donated items can be place in the basket on the LWML table.  Thanks so much for your help!

Returning Our Gifts to God: Ways to Give

Giver IDs

Please contact Ashleigh Krimminger (akrimminger@saintpaulstroy.org) if you are in need of a Giver ID.

Reoccurring Auto-Pay

Please consider setting up an Automated Clearing House (ACH) contribution plan. Donations can be automatically made from your bank account on the 3rd and/or 17th of the month. To enroll, please fill out the Auto-Pay Application Form. If you already have an ACH established, please consider if you are able to increase your recurring gifts, also using the Auto-Pay Application Form.

Another great option would be to set St. Paul’s up as a payee within your bank’s online Bill Pay. You could set up recurring checks to be mailed to the Church Office: 112 N. Border St, Troy, Illinois 62294. Please include your envelope number in the memo.
