YAMs to Swarm the Privateer Yacht Club

Friends,

On Sunday, September 25, the YAMs will meet at the reception following 10:30 worship at St. Paul's to carpool to the Privateer Yacht Club for some sailing and a picnic.

This event has been organized, in large part, by YAM, Jonathan Few. Thanks Jonathan!

We will carpool to the club to have a picnic, including hamburgers, chips, soft drinks, etc. All that the interested YAM need bring are the following items:

Swimsuit
Towel
Afternoon Beverage of Choice

More information about the Privateer Yacht Club can be found here.

Here are some directions to the club:

Exit I-75 to Highway 153 north. Follow Highway 153 North Approximately 6.8 miles across Chickamauga Dam. Immediately at the north end of the dam, exit at Lake Resort Drive . Go fully around the traffic Circle and turn on to Lake Resort Drive . Follow Lake Resort Drive approximately 1.5 miles to the intersection with Gann Store Road . Turn Right on Gann Store Road . Follow Gann Store Road , past Gold Point Marina , approximately 1.1 miles. At the top of a hill, where Gann Store Road turns left, go straight onto Privateer Road . At the end of the Cul D Sac on Privateer Road is the entrance gate to the Club. The address is 4713 Privateer Road, Hixson, TN 37343.

I hope that we will have a big turnout for this last-of-warm-weather hurrah!

Yours in Christ,

Friends,

Here are the pictures from the recent Habitat build. We had a great time at the warehouse (read: out of the sun). I hope that everyone will consider coming out on September 17, for our next Habitat Work Day.

Yours in Christ,

Saturday, August 20, Habitat Work Day

Friends,

St. Paul's Habitat Crew Needs Your Help: August 20 and Beyond!

Twenty-five years ago, a group of community leaders came together to form a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in our community. From its first build, to its most recent triplex which was the recipient of a lot of St. Paul's "sweat equity," Habitat of Greater Chattanooga has partnered with thousands of volunteers, donors and organizations to build homes for more than 225 families. Be a part of this important ministry, changing lives one home at at a time.

St. Paul's volunteers are a part of the Habitat effort every month. Our next Habitat build is this Saturday, August 20. St. Paul's parishioners (ages 16 and older) will gather at 8:45 a.m. in the parking lot to carpool to work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Work time is 9 a.m. until noon. We will be at the Warehouse, which is air conditioned, at 1201 E. Main Street 37408. Meet us there if you can't make the carpool. This is the last month of the carpool as most folks are able to get the address from the eChimes, this website, or facebook.

I hope that lots of folks can make it as many hands make light work.

Yours in Christ,
Bob
