St. Paul’s Helping Weekend

Greetings Friends,

On the weekend of Friday, April 17, to Sunday, April 19, the Young Adult Ministries are going to help the older parishioners of St. Pauls. We are calling this the St. Paul’s Helping Weekend. If a parishioner has some light household chores (mowing grass, sweeping, dusting, etc.) that need doing, the YAMs will be there to help – especially, if parishioner has trouble doing the chores himself or herself. I have asked for requests for work to be submitted in writing. These requests should include the chores requested (each of which should take no longer than 1 1/2 hours) and the times during which the parishioner is free. The blocks of time are as follows:

Friday 6PM to 8PM
Saturday 8AM to 10AM
Saturday 10AM to 12PM
Saturday 12PM to 2PM
Saturday 2PM to 4PM
Saturday 4PM to 6PM
Saturday 6PM to 8PM
Sunday 12PM to 2PM
Sunday 2PM to 40PM
Sunday 4PM to 6PM
Sunday 6PM to 8PM

As mentioned the chores should take only 1 1/2 hours each, in order to allow for travel and cleanup time. Additionally, all chores need to have the necessary tools required for them available. For example, if a parishioner would like his or her grass cut, a mower (with gasoline, if required) will need to be provided. The YAMs will be accepting donations, which will go to benefit Episcopal Metropolitan Ministries. I sincerely hope that we will be able to help as many of our St. Paul's parishioners as possible and that all of the YAMs (and Tweeners) will be able to help. If you have already written this event off as you are too busy, consider signing up for just two hours. Who among us does not have just two hours to spare on a weekend? I can also match up volunteers to chores or volunteers with other volunteers, if you let me know your preferences. If you are interested in being on one of these helping teams, please let me know at leopold@stpaulschatt.org. I look forward to working with all of you. See you then!

Yours in Christ,
Bob
