Here are some Updates from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Hamilton, MT:

Teach a Skill to area Youth. Here is a practical way you can support families and young people in Hamilton. Share a skill–teach a class.  Consider teaching sewing or cooking or woodworking. How about fly casting or painting or music lessons?  See the attached flier for details. Teach one of the classes that are listed (and use the 4-H curriculum) or come up with your own class. Classes are offered one time in a four-hour block. This is an excellent opportunity to give back to our community. Our very own Terry Moran had a vision for this program and is working with the Extension Office, the local Elks Club and other non-profits to provide skill development for area youth. A trial program will run this summer. Consider what skill you could share with local 10-14 year olds. Respond by early May to offer your class this summer. 

Worship Time Change. The Vestry is considering a time change for our worship from 9:30 am to 10:00 am on Sundays. If we make this change we would try it for a trial period in the fall. If you have a preference and haven’t had an opportunity to voice it please reach out to our Senior Warden Allie Tossberg here or Rev. Gretchen here. The Vestry will make this decision in May.

United Thank Offering Boxes. Please return your UTO box to the narthex within the next two weeks.

Pentecost is Coming. Wear red 

in celebration of Pentecost on Sunday May 24th. As we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, look for symbols of the Spirit: flame, breath or wind, dove.

Diversity Service.  June is PRIDE month and it is our year to host the annual ecumenical Diversity Service here at St. Paul’s on Monday June 15 at 7:00 pm. 

Vacation Bible School. Happens this year at Faith Lutheran Church. We will collaborate again with a variety of local mainline churches. The dates for VBS are Monday July 6 –  Friday July 10. Get it on your calendar now.

Adopt-a-month Cleaning Crew. Are you game to help clean the church during one month of the year? It takes about 4 hours and the specific tasks have been lined out for you. Contact Tom Schmit, call him at 406-381-6300 or email him here to sign up for your month to vacuum, clean and mop. Your volunteer hours help save the church money.Thank you for considering this opportunity to serve. There is a sign up list on the bulletin board in the basement.
