Hands to Service
Groveland and Joyce Uptown Food Shelves joyfully receive Saint Paul’s weekly donations. Our theme for June will be BBQ/picnic accompaniments (chips, baked beans, brownie mix, etc). Please bring items to church as part of your weekly offering, and place in baskets in the Narthex.
Food Shelf Challenge – bring SIX items during the sixth month!
The Bridge for Youth is seeking a partnering organization –which could be Sant Paul’s– to assist with gardening projects this summer. Want to use your green thumb to guide young people? Read more details here.
Upcoming Events and General Announcements
31 MAY: The deadline for inclusion in Saint Paul’s printed parish directory is MAY 31. Please contact any member of the Evangelism Commission with questions, or to get your family entered. Don’t be an addendum!
1 JUNE: Mark your calendars for Saint Paul’s Spring Clean-Up Day; rakes and shovels will fly at 8:30am, and lunch will be provided. Bring gardening gloves if you have them. Sign up on the bulletin board by the Nursery.
5 JUNE: Saint Lydia’s Circle, a prayerful ministry of the older and wiser women of our parish, will meet this week (and all first Wednesdays) at 1:00pm in the Bishop Kellogg Room. You are invited to bring a bag lunch and join us.
9 JUNE: Come dressed in red and be red-y to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost at the 10:00am liturgy! We will be baptizing Sara-Katherine Koening (daughter of Errik and Whitney-Lehr), and commemorating the confirmations of Joe Austrian, Max Diaz, Audie Munn, and John and Simon Struyk. Please join us!
11 JUNE: The final author reading of The Hidden One will be held at 7:00pm. Join our own Norm Mitchell for intrigue and insights at 6800 France Ave, Suite 580 in Edina.
Have you taken a Faith Formation class at Saint Paul’s? Never taken one, but have ideas or needs? Please take a moment to fill out this anonymous survey and help us create interesting, helpful, and innovative class offerings. Paper copies of the survey can be found in the Parish House.
Arriving for Pentecost: a new printed Parish Directory! The project kicked off on Easter Sunday, and continues through this month. Be sure to check your entry for completeness, provide missing info, and get your family’s picture submitted (or snapped on-site) during coffee hours in May for our own Book of Faces.
Consider a donation of flowers to enhance the beauty of the liturgy this summer – remember loved ones, a special occasion, or offer a special prayer request. You may select a specific date from 16 June through 30 October, and your memorial will be printed in the weekly digital E-pistle and Sunday bulletin announcements. Suggested donation for two vases of flowers is $45. Please talk to Kathy Kullberg of your request, then remit payment with a check made out to Saint Paul’s, noting Altar Guild flowers and the date.
Two of our tenants have outgrown their rental spaces in the Beim House, and will be moving elsewhere at the end of June. If you know of any non-profit organizations in need of space, please contact Junior Warden Beth Carlson.

We All need a Lazarus Story
IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT ONE…WHO CREATED THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE EARTH AND THE STARS…AMEN I firmly believe that this deep story of Lazarus is a gift to us today. Wouldn’t we all right now want an experience to ‘just take all of this Coronavirus away’?...
