While the Fair is over, it’s not too late to give. Please consider a donation to the Outreach Fund to help offset a potential decrease in fair profits because of Covid-19 restrictions. Donations can be sent to the church office or made online at https://stpaulsmaine.breezechms.com/give/online Christmas Giving Tree Look for the Giving tree starting November 29 at the Advent Drive-Through. This year our Giving Tree will ask for gift cards that families can use for not only small gifts but also for essentials. We will have tags with a name and type of gift card that will help fulfill a child, teen, or family’s wish. We will sort the cards and make sure that every child, teen, and family on our list receives something. This year we are adding gift cards to area food stores as well as gas cards to be given to many of the kinship families that are in the most need. We would like all gift cards sent to the church by December 13th. (Note—we will offer a way to participate online as well.) Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program Where does MCHPP get their food from? The two big supermarkets donate a lot of their produce that they deem not “pretty” enough to put on display, but still good to eat. They also get much of their non-perishable food from the Good Shephard Food Bank in Lewiston. This food is not donated—they buy it. The final source is from cash donations from members of the community and organizations. During this pandemic, they have unfortunately incurred a greater demand for their services. They would be thankful for any donations that we can make. A check in any amount will help them provide their clients of all ages with food that will help sustain them during these perilous times. To contribute please send your check to MCHPP, 12 Tenney Way, Brunswick, ME 04011. Faith Filled Generosity —  If you haven’t already made your pledge, there are two easy ways to complete the form.
