THE BOARD OF FINANCE needs someone to fill a vacant spot on their committee (to be elected this month).  The Board of Finance are the ones who make sure there are collection envelopes, count and record offerings, and keeps records of gifts received.   If the Lord has moved you to help out your church, this might be for you.  Please contact Brian Knittle or an elder.

 DID you miss church last Sunday?  Go to Facebook.com/stpaulfreeman and click "like".  All sermons for a month are being posted there to listen to if you were away, or to review if you so desire.

COULD YOU HELP those who cannot get to church any longer?  Video recordings of the services are being made to give to those who have mobility issues and cannot get to church (Nursing homes, shut ins).  Many, who have not been able to attend church in years say; "Oh!  This is great.  I so miss going to church and this is close to being there again!".  We could use some volunteers who can deliver these DVD recordings on a regular basis (possibly each week), along with a printed service and bulletin (if able to see), so that when they watch the service in their homes or care center, they can sing and listen right along with us.  Please contact me if you would like to help in this way.  Pastor Makelin
