Metropolitan Ministries Benefit Concert

Friends,

I was asked to pass this along:



"On Wednesday, April 28, at Lindsay Street Hall (corner of MLKjr Blvd & Lindsay Street, Chattanooga), C.C. Booker III, featuring Will Scruggs, will present a concert to benefit the human needs fund of Metropolitan Ministries, with two sets at 7 & 9 PM - $10/1 set; $15/both.

C.C. Booker III is an Atlanta-based jazz quartet exploring the soul/jazz music of Ray Charles, King Curtis and Booker T & the MGs. The band is made up of Will Scruggs on vocals & saxophones, David Ellington on Hammond B-3, Dan Baraszu on guitar and drummer Marlon Patton.

Refreshments will be on sale, as will the band's self-titled CD, plus other Scruggs CDs and t-shirts. All proceeds go to help fund Metropolitan Ministries’ efforts to support those in need of financial, emotional and physical necessities. All ages are welcome; listening and dancing are encouraged.

For further information, contact http://www.lindsaystreethall.com/ or call 423 658-5587."

Thanks,
Bob

YAMs Eastertide Party

YAMs Eastertide Party at the Leopolds’ Home

Friends,

At 4:00 PM on the evening of Saturday, May 1st, the Leopolds will open their home to host a “Christ is Risen!” party for the St. Paul’s Young Adults. The festivities celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord will continue until about 9:00 PM. All that participants should bring are positive attitudes, unless there are special dietary restrictions to be considered. Please email me to RSVP and for directions. This will be a chance for us to celebrate the Risen Christ and the season of Easter together. I do hope that you all will be able to make it out for some fun and gluten-free treats and maybe even some Lamb from our grill.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

Helping Weekend Clarification

Friends,

I apologize for the tardiness of this announcement, but it has been difficult to get all of those who need help together for the Helping Weekend. But, now that I have gotten the helpees together, I need to wrangle the helpers. Essentially, the main team for work will meet at St. Paul’s on Saturday morning, April 17th, at 9:00 to paint the Godly Play shelves. After this, we will move out in teams to various locations to help parishioners with light house work. The idea would be that we could all meet together for lunch around noon. I hope that many of you will be able to attend this, the second annual, Helping Weekend.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

YAMs 2nd Annual Helping Weekend

St. Paul’s Second Annual Helping Weekend

Friends,

St. Paul’s Helping Weekend – From Friday April 15th to Sunday April 17th, the YAMs will be roving about in small teams in order to help St. Paul’s parishioners with household chores – particularly those parishioners who might have trouble doing these chores themselves. We will be accepting donations – this event will act as a fundraiser for the Young Adult Ministries at St. Paul’s. If you are interested in being on one of these helping teams, please let me know at me or call the church office. We look forward to working with all of the St. Paul’s family. For more information see the letter in this issue of the Chimes, written to those we will be helping.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

Friends,

Sorry for the delay in updating the website - we have been pretty busy around here, gearing up for Holy Week. On Sunday, Feb. 21st, after the 10:30 service, the Director of Partnership for Families, Children, and Adults (http://www.partnershipfca.com/) came to talk to the YAMs about volunteer and service opportunities. Here are some pictures from that luncheon. Enjoy!

Yours in Christ,
Bob
