I am an Enabler ---I am your Church Budget Through your tithes, proportion giving, and your second mile contributions, I am able to pursue St. Paul’s vision and mission that includes meaningful worship, connecting with others, and serving those in need. The Budget allows peoples’ lives to be touch in several ways by embracing ‘Sharing Faith Through Love’.

Noted below is a summary that highlights several ministries, (though not inclusive) that I am involved with:

Through my presence, I oversee weddings, baptisms, people joining the church, celebrating the lives of the faithfully deceased, and educating the children, youth and seasoned followers of Christ.

I provide a comfortable worship center that is heated in the winter, cooled in the summer, physically maintained along with custodial activities.

I provide a wide range of music, including the children and youth, that glorifies and praises our Heavenly Father.

I enable our church personnel to be fairly compensated for their faithful service.

I venture out into the community to bring the ‘Good News’ gospel of Jesus Christ.

I support multiple mission activities: Feed the hungry at Trinity, prepared 13,000meals for Stop Hunger Now, provide resources to Valley Mission, sending studentsto Carolina Cross Connection, the Jeremiah Project and Helping Hands mission to young children. Furthermore, I support WRE and Relay for Life.

I engage in regional disaster relief and contribute to UMCOR initiatives.

I provide a means to help train those entering seminaries and support leaders who retire after years of faithful service to God through our Church.

I provide apportionment funding to the District and Conference.

To affirm, I am your Church Budget, desirous in serving our Lord through financial discipleship. I need your generous benevolences in order to continue His ministry

St. Paul’s United Methodist Church Endowment Program Act of Faith

As Christians we share in the affirmation that all we have comes from God. When we recognize God in all we have, all we are and all we do, giving becomes an act of faith. One option we have in acting on our faith is to include St. Paul’s in our future charitable giving plans, through wills, trusts, real estate and other financial means.

Currently, there are three endowment funds (Perry Investment, Hollsinger Investment, and St. Paul’s UMC Endowment Fund. These Endowments have

provided a means and reliable source of income for carrying out the mission of our church through participating in meaningful and joyful worship, connecting with others and being of service to our brothers and sisters in Christ, within the community and beyond.

The Endowment Funds are administered by an Endowment Committee. The Committee is vested with fiduciary responsibility to ensure the funds are invested in safe and prudent financial instruments that are in alignment with St. Paul’s social and ethical principles and values. A portion of the income that is generated each year is allocated for advancing the Church’s mission. Currently, the Endowments are invested and administered by the United Methodist Foundation. The return on invested capital over the years has been respectable.

Gifts to the Endowment Program may be Designated or Undesignated. Designated Funds are those which the donor specifies how the proceeds are to be used. Undesignated Funds are those which the donor does not make specific designation as to how the proceeds are to be utilized. Whether Designated or Undesignated, the “gifts” are to be suitable for one of four categories: (1) Missions, (2) Property, (3) General Endowment {special needs}, and (4) Scholarships. By the way, a separate ‘Named Fund’ can be established with a minimum gift of $10,000 or more.

Should you wish to speak to a member of the Endowment Committee, contact the church office for current member names and phone numbers.

Thank you for your consideration in considering Endowment Gifting as a means to further enable St. Paul’s ministry. Join us EVERY Tuesday from 8:30 - 9:15 AM in the Sanctuary for Community Prayer Time.  This will be a time to gather and pray for one another, the community and our ministry.  All are welcome so come and pray as the Lord leads.  If you have any questions, please contact Patsy Dillon at patsyd40@msn.com

Next Monthly Evening Prayer Meeting, Tuesday, November 21st @ 7:00 PM

Women's Bible Study Advent Study:

FAITHFUL, by Adam Hamilton.From his beginnings as a humble carpenter to his all-important role as the earthly father of Jesus Christ, Joseph's place in the nativity story is sometimes overlooked but contains valuable lessons for all of us.As you read this book, you will understand how Joseph's story is much like our own. In life, we encounter circumstances that we would never have chosen for ourselves. Tuesday Mornings, 

5 week series: October 31, November 7, November 14, November 28, and December 5.9:30 am in St. Paul's chapel

Contact Mary Irving (msandiferirving2541@yahoo.com) or 885-0029

All are invited to the UMM breakfast to hear Rev. Dr.  Warren Grant. Mr. Grant will be our guest speaker at the UMM’s ministry on Saturday, November 18th following the 8:00 AM gourmet breakfast.  The congregation and friends are invited to join us for breakfast and afterwards, hear Rev. Grant’s presentation in the Chapel. The subject is based on Psalm 11:3.  ”When the foundations (country & church) are being destroyed, what can we do?"  There are several initiatives being deployed today within our country and foreign, that is attempting to disrupt and weaken our Democracy, Constitution, laws and processes that has been established for over 200 years.  You can read it in the newspapers, hear it on broadcast media, and view it through various social media formats.  Moreover, this movement infringes and impacts our freedom to worship, practice our faith and pursue a Christian life. So mark your calendar for 8:00 AM on Saturday, November 18th and join us. Looking forward to seeing you there.

If you have kids who have completed 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade, don’t let them miss out on the fun and fellowship! Have them join us for Funtastic Friday! This is a time filled with dinner, devotions, games and activities designed to help us grow in our relationship with God and grow closer to one another. This month’s Funtastic Friday meeting time is still to be determined. Watch for further announcements about the date and time. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Lyle at 290-2858 or email at lyle.chris@gmail.com. Hope to see your children there!

WHY BIBLE STUDY?

For seven weeks, 17 women have gathered on Tuesday mornings to study together The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer. The Biblical text was Ephesians 6:10-19. We studied together through daily reading of the

Word of God, workbook exercises and personal reflections, small group break-out discussions, prayers and prayer strategies, and DVD teachings by Priscilla Shirer. Our participants wished to share some of their reflections from the The Armor of God: “Without this study I would not have learned to bring things that are "almost right" or just plain wrong,  to the light.  My life is changed.  Going to church is one thing,  saying I'm a Christian is another, studying and learning about my "benefits" and how to take up the full armor of God and use it daily to protect myself from the schemes of the enemy is a whole other level I never knew about until now, at age 35. There is a way to take back our mind, emotions, and family from the devil, and it is through gratitude, prayer, positivity and love.“… in Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.” (Eph, 1:10b-12) by Dana Bedard

“Have you ever felt the need for ‘more faith’ to do what you feel God is asking you to do? If you are struggling to move forward in obedience to God, you do not need bigger faith. You just need to realize how big our God is. The more faithful and strong we believe Him to be, the more willing we will be to depend on Him. Our level of faith will always be tied to our perception of God. If our perception of God is on point, our faith will be also.” (The Armor of God)

“Good faith is rooted in a good God. A little faith is all you need when firmly planted in the right Person.”

(The Armor of God)“Saved by grace when you believe. And you can’t take credit for this, it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done-so none of us can boast. We are God’s Masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:8-10

“The Holy Spirit’s job is to chip away at everything that doesn’t look like Jesus. Your conscience is the microphone the Holy Spirit uses to allow you to hear the voice of God in your life.” (The Armor of God)“Faith doesn’t just deflect the enemy’s flaming accusations; it extinguishes them.” (The Armor of God)“Faith is acting like it is so, even when it is not so, so that it might be so, simply because God said so.” (Dr./Rev. Tony Evans)“Prayer shrouded in gratitude expresses a firm faith…This kind of faith catches God’s attention and He responds by activating His peace within us.” (Armor of God)

*If you are looking for a way to broaden your faith, we highly recommend this book.*
