PASTOR GABLE’S CELEBRATION OF MINISTRY: Please mark your calendars for Sunday, May 31 following the 9:30am service in the social hall. This is an opportunity to say thank you to Pastor Gable for his ministry of over 14 years at St Paul on his last day with us before starting his next chapter in life, retirement! We will be collecting donations for his retirement gift. They can be sent to the church office with your donation marked for Pastor’s Retirement. They can also be put in the collection plate, Mutual Ministry mailbox # 15, or sent to Doug Hookway, Mutual Ministry Chair, 26 Round House Drive, Lititz. We are all looking forward to this opportunity for fellowship with Pastor Jim as he closes his official ministry with us.  Please sign up in the narthex!

We will scratch out some early weeds to prepare the beds for mulching. We will only work one hour. All are welcome. Also, there are still some gardens waiting to be adopted and a "Rover" helper list that you can sign to commit as a more regular garden helper. Check the table in the narthex or call Marsha Campbell 626-8078.

MEAL SERVING MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY:  Our congregation is partnering with Zion Leola to help feed our neighbors through serving community dinners in Lancaster.  Help is needed for set-up, serving, and clean up.  These dinners serve approximately 200 people who might otherwise go hungry.  The next dinner will take place at Christ Lutheran on Thursday, May 21.  Volunteers (ages 15+) are needed for the following responsibilities:
