FUNERALS:  If a death occurs, call me and arrange with the funeral home to have a grave-side committal within 24-48 hours. I will be there.

Tweaks to Precautionary Measures and operations

Tweaks to Precautionary Measures and operations:

      We WILL be asking members to register for services this coming Sunday, May 10th by calling the office or using the link on St. Paul's website. Registration ends Saturday night.

      Afternoon communion starts at 3:00pm if the 9:30am time slot is filled. Registration for the afternoon communion is also needed. If the 3:00pm time slot fills, a time slot at 3:30 will be opened. This continues for as many slots are needed until all who desire, have been served. Registration ends Saturday night.

      For communion, table dismissal will be done for everyone at the end instead of for each household/table (to watch how the communion works, see the last service at https://www.facebook.com/stpaulfreeman/videos/2957313564355427/)

     Hymnals may be used, as they will not be touched by anyone else until a week later.
