The Holly Luncheon & Bazaar was a great success again this year. Thank you to our St. Paul’s congregation for all of your help and support. The profit is used to help with the work of St. Paul’s. This would not be possible without your generosity. All St. Paul’s ladies are invited to join us every second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the large church school hall.
