Loving to Give
a brief message from Lowell
The central message from this church is always "Love" - "Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself." When you
pledge and give to St. Paul's, you are acting in love.
Love God - Giving to St. Paul's can be an expression of thanks to God the creator for giving
us this wonderful earth and for the gift of life. Giving can be a way to respond to the love
of Jesus who showed us how to live generously and authentically. Giving fills us with
the Holy Spirit, the giver of all good things.
Love your Neighbor - When you give to St. Paul's you enable our message and work of love
for all. We express our love in worship, music, fellowship and empowering spiritual growth
for children, youth and adults. We express our love in outreach, care and hospitality for the
poor, the marginalized, those who are ill, and those in prison.
Love Yourself - Nurturing your generosity opens your heart and spirit and breaks some of our bondage to our
tendencies toward self-centeredness. Giving to St. Paul's comes back as a gift to you as you enjoy the benefits of being
part of a nurturing, serving community of love.
Pledge generously as a gift of love to God, to neighbor, and to self. To pledge online, go to

Remember! Time Change This Sunday
Daylight Savings Time will end at 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 2nd. The old expression goes,
"spring forward, fall back." Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before bed Saturday
night. And enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
Schedule Your Pictures Today!
St Paul's is creating a hard-copy pictorial directory
Go to http://tinyurl.com/stpaulspics to schedule your photo shoot for our new directory. The session will take about 20
minutes with a Lifetouch photographer. You'll receive a free photo directory and free 8" X 11" photograph. You may
order additional photography packages at the time of your photo shoot, if you so desire. For those electing not to have
their picture taken, copies of the directory will be available for a purchase of five dollars on the photographer’s website.
Not only is this a great opportunity for a family portrait, it’s super helpful to have a pictorial directory. And there’s still
time to schedule your shoot! Remaining dates are:
Nov 1 (Sat.): 10:00am - 4:50pm
Nov 11 - Nov 14 (Tues. – Fri.): 2:30pm - 8:50pm

November Headlines
Connecting Your Giving with your Receiving
We encourage all of St. Paul's members and friends to consider giving a known percentage of your income to St. Paul's
as an expression of your thanks for everything you are and everything you receive. (It's an old tradition, dating back to
agrarian days when farmers gave a portion of the harvest.)
Giving 5% of one's income has become something of a norm at St. Paul's. The math is easy -- pledge $1 a week for every
$1,000 of income.
A few households offer a traditional tithe (10%).
Most people give to St. Paul's and give to other good causes.
If you've never calculated your proportionate giving, take a look at the table below.

Sunday Mornings @ 10:00 -- Four Offerings for Adults
1. Sunday Bible Study: The Epistle to the Romans
Starts November 2
St. Paul's letter to the Romans has been called his "masterpiece" and his "most important
theological legacy.
In his Commentary on Romans, Martin Luther said, This Epistle [Romans] is really the chief part of the New Testament and the
very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it
every day, as the daily bread of the soul.
But the Epistle to the Romans is not easy reading. Jesuit scholar Joseph Fitzmyer says the letter "overwhelms the reader by
the density and sublimity of the topic with which it deals, the gospel of the justification and salvation of Jew and Greek
alike by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, revealing the uprightness and love of God."

Join us starting Sunday, November 2, as Lowell begins a study of Paul's greatest writing. We will begin with a brief
