Habitat for Humanity
The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity works in partnership to build simple, decent houses that are sold to partner families at no profit through zero-interest loans. St. Paul provides funding support and willing workers.
Do you have time and heart to give? People are exercising their can-do faith this fall, swinging hammers and serving lunches. The Davenport worksite is at 1920 W. 2nd St.
To get involved, be in touch with Joel Moore,

Blood Donor Days
St. Paul sponsors two opportunities to give blood each year. The Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center sets up a mobile clinic that inspires the generosity of St. Paul people. The next date is Wednesday, Sept. 24, 1-6 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.
You’re eligible if you’re 17 or older (16-year-olds may give with parental consent) and in good health. Make an appointment today.

"...Jesus reduced the mark of a Christian to one word: 'By this all will know you are my disciples,' he said: 'if you LOVE one another.' The most subversive act the church can take is consistently to obey that command." ~Philip Yancey
