 “SHARING OUR SUCCESS” PROGRAM - Knight and Day Diner & Park City Diner have a program called “Sharing Our Success” (SOS) in which they will donate 10% of your total bill each time you eat at one of these diners to our church.  The money that we receive will be used to fund our partnership with Power Packs to feed Lititz children and families. Today and on July 13 Barb Paynter will be handing out swipe cards following the worship service or you can pick one up in the church office.  Present the swipe card to the cashier when checking out at either of these diners and our church will receive a check for 10% of our members’ total purchases.

LIBERIAN STUDENT TUITION Sponsorship Program - Student info for the 2014-15 school year is now available.  We received information for 50 students this year, and we are happy to celebrate the graduation of 3 students sponsored by members of our congregation!  Those continuing to sponsor your same child will find an envelope containing updated information in the basket on the narthex display table. We have new students available to sponsor, and their profiles can be found on the display table. Tuition payments can be returned to the church until August 3rd, or mailed directly to the project at the address listed on the profile form. If you have questions, please contact Cindy Wingenroth at 627-2111, or at coachw@dejazzd.com. Thank you to the many, many generous St. Paul members who have been faithful supporters of this wonderful project!
