Men’s Beach Week
Men’s Beach Week has a long tradition at St. Paul’s. Each year, during the ‘last full week of April’, the men of St. Paul’s rent an oceanfront house or two at Emerald Isle, NC. Guys sign up to stay for a night, a few, or the whole week. It’s a great way to enjoy the coast, the fellowship, catching up on old friends, and making new ones. Newcomers are very welcome.
Please, check out our web page at Men’s Beach Week (MBW) or contact Mike McInerney, Michael.k.mcinerney@gmail.com for more info.
Prayer Stitchers
St. Paul’s Prayer Stitchers is a ministry of prayer, fellowship, and social action. We gather in the
Youth Wing every Wednesday from 10:00 am to noon.
We invite you to join us and create items to contribute to In-reach and Outreach ministries at St. Paul’s and those beyond our walls.
Some examples of our projects are:
- afghans to help our ASP raise funds for their programs and to leave with each of their host families. Also, for the families of Refuge for Refugees and Habitat for Humanity.
- items made for sale at yearly craft fairs at St. Paul’s and Glenaire,
- baby blankets for families at St. Paul’ss with newborns and grandparents to take when
- visiting a new grandchild who lives elsewhere,
- hats for babies and children at WakeMed and Ronald McDonald House,
- Prayer Shawls, Prayer Pockets, and Prayer Squarest to encourage and support parishioners and others in difficult times.
We make warm hats, gloves, scarves, and other items throughout the year. We donate these items to charities benefitting children/ families and veterans each December.
Knitters and crocheters of all skill levels are welcome. If you want to learn how to knit or crochet, we would be delighted to help you. Our membership includes skilled knitters and crocheters eager to teach these crafts. We have yarn, needles, and hooks to get you started if you don’t have your own.
Please feel free to contact us and ask to be put on our e-mail list to receive information about Prayer Stitcher’s needs and current projects if you would like to make items for donation but can’t attend meetings.
We welcome donations. If you have leftover or unused yarn which needs a new home, we can use it. Bring it to a meeting or contact Beth or Marilyn to arrange for us to get it from you.
Monetary donations are also welcome. Checks may be written to St. Paul’s Episcopal church with “Prayer Stitchers” in the memo line.
