Who Wants to SHOP?

Filed Under News, Social Ministry by Pastor Meredith

St. Paul’s is looking for volunteers to go shopping for food at the Capital Area Food Bank. We will need to shop two Fridays per month, preceding our Saturday Distributions. If interested and able to help on a Friday during the day, please contact Evan Davis at emdaviwm@gmail.com. Shoppers will also need to attend a brief training at the food bank. The church will cover the cost of the food, so shoppers just need to be able to shop for the food and deliver it to the church.

Fair Trade Sunday

Filed Under Events, News, Social Ministry by Pastor Meredith

After a summer hiatus, Fair Trade Sundays are back starting on September 21 with coffee sales after both services. Regular (drip and whole bean) coffee is available for $6 and decaf for $7. Beginning in September, we will introduce tea for $3. Expect even more products–including chocolate–in the coming months.

Fair Trade Sundays occur every Third Sunday and is done in cooperation with Lutheran World Relief’s Fair Trade Project. The goal is to make products available to St. Paul’s members that are created through Fair Trade Principles–
• FAIR WAGES
• CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
• WOMEN’S RIGHTS
• THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
• ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS
• INDIGENOUS RIGHTS

If you have more questions, or would like to help, contact Michael Triplett at michaelrtriplett [at] gmail.com.
