| Today is Independence Day—Happy Fourth of July! As you celebrate this day with fireworks, cookouts, outside activities around a pool, a lake, or a beach, I hope you will spend some time in reflection. I hope you will pause or break from the day’s activities to take it all in and ponder. Ponder these things: 1. Freedom is a gift. It is easy to forget the sacrifice given for what we assume or take for granted. 2. How I use my freedom is important. Though we might have freedom, it is best used to benefit others. 3. Expressed gratitude multiplies. When we express our gratitude, it builds people up. It empowers and creates an environment full of joy and unity. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with family, friends, and fun. At the same time, ponder what you have been given. Contemplate the wonders of God and his gift of grace to you and others.  This Week’s Readings: *Monday – Romans 2 *Tuesday – Romans 3 *Wednesday- Romans 4 *Thursday -Romans 5 *Friday- Romans 6 Prayer Requests: *Children’s safety as they participate in summer activities. *An immediate end to the crisis in Ukraine. *Heal those who are sick and protect those who are not. *Comfort those who are grieving and in distress. *Wisdom for our leaders as they navigate through uncertain times. *Guidance for those seeking to find their way. *Continued Growth Inside and Outside the Walls of St. Paul UMC. |
| “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6 |
These are our announcements for the week of July 3rd.
Church offices will be closed Monday, July 4th, for the holiday.
Small groups – you’ve seen or heard the announcements but now’s the time to speak up if you would like to join one! Plans will be finalized in the next few weeks so the books can be ordered and the group leaders prepped for the launch of this wonderful project the 2nd week in August. Send a quick email to Mary Lou Jarrell (marylou@tostpaulunitedmethodist.com) to add your name to the list. Life is better together!
SafeHouse ministry still needs you to clean out your closets and bring those gently used items for men or women to the church! Thank you!
What’s going on in July:

Youth Rec Camp in Tennessee is July 25 – July 29.
