Matthew 10:26-28.
You have the opportunity to buy a roof tile to help put a new roof over our sanctuary at St. Paul's. Through the months of May and June, we will be selling these "tiles" after each service for $5.00 each. Please add your name to the bottom of the tile, add decorations if you wish, and we will hang them all on our support wall so everyone can see who has helped. Get one for each member of your family; buy them in honor of, or in memory of loved ones; ask friends and neighbors if they would like to donate for a tile! With your help we hope to raise $5,000 for the roof (yes, that's 1000 tiles). So please be generous, spread the word, and help raise the roof!

Circuit Rider Letter
May 2013
by Pastor John DiGiamberardino
From the Pastor’s Desk
“I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you,
which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice,
and I am persuaded is in you also.”
II Timothy 1:5
Paul and Timothy were great friends. They shared a common mission together, telling other people about Jesus. They traveled together. They had a lot of time to get to know each other. When you read through Acts 16 to the end of the book, you realize they shared a lot of ministry experiences together.
Timothy had a genuine faith. How did Timothy learn about God? Who taught him? Who discipled him? What examples of faith were before him? Where does such faith come from?
For Timothy it seems his faith started when he was a child. He received faith from God but he witnessed genuine faith in two women, his mother and grandmother. Timothy’s mother, Eunice and grandmother Lois, were strong believers in Christ Jesus. From childhood we are told, Timothy learned the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. His mother and grandmother taught him the Bible! There is nothing more important than teaching children the Word of God.
