Youth Summer Activities
Wednesday W.A.V.E.S (Wednesdays Are Very Exciting)- Come join us each and every Wednesday this summer to hang out and have some fun with other youth! Each week is a different activity, ranging from pool parties to going to the movies. Doors open at 8:00 am and close at 5:30 pm (but if you want to sleep in, go right ahead and join us when you can).
Sunday Night SPY (St. Paul’s Youth)- Every Sunday night (except for Father’s Day) we have our largest youth event from 5:00-7:00. We play some fantastic games, share a delicious meal together, listen to some praise and worship led by our very own youth band, and have Biblically based lessons that are relevant to today’s world. Summer topics include how to deal with your family and some spiritual lessons from Star Wars. Don’t forget to bring a friend and $3 for dinner.
Music Programs- Can you play an instrument? Do you enjoy singing? Is building friendships with people who have similar interests important to you? Then ask about joining one of our two music groups we have: the youth choir and the youth praise band FUSE. See Stephanie Chandler for more details.
Youth Week- Right before school starts again, St. Paul’s hosts youth week, a jam-packed week of fun and adventure. There is a different activity each day, including tubing the Ichetucknee! This is the week for rising 6th graders to join SPY and concludes with the youth running the services on Sunday. This year it is August 16-21.

New Sermon Series: Pursuing God's Heart: The Life of King David
Throughout the Summer, we will be lingering over the stories of one of the most colorful biblical characters: King David of Israel in a sermon series entitled Purusing God's Heart: The Life of King David. The youngest of Jesse's boys, David's adventures are full of triumphs and tragedies, deep friendship, glorious victories, conniving betrayal, heart-wrenching pain, devoted faithfulness and humble service. In these stories we see a glimpse into a very human leader who longs to pursue God's heart with all of his being. Here we will find lessons for learning, lessons for leadership, lessons for living. These stories many have known since childhood will come alive in worship. Come join us as we live into these stories of a life of leadership fully lived.
We place a special emphasis on having children participate in worship. There are some resources available to help make worship more meaningful for children which you can find at the following link: Worship Resources for Children
Job Board for those seeking employment
In these tough economic times, the Surrendered Life Sunday School class developed an online job board where potential openings might be shared and people seeking work might post their interests. To see the online version, you may go to this link:

or you may see the actual board across from Jill and Sally's office just off Sanders Hall. Many thanks to Rachel McCleery, Darren Robinette, Lowell and Mary Faith Mook for working on this idea.

Nothing But Nets Campaign
From the Nothing but Nets blog, posted May 29, 2009, written by Adrianna Logalbo:
Miss Dragonfly
I feel lucky. Every day I get to work on this incredible campaign with dedicated people and wonderful partners. But it is our supporters who are truly inspiring – those of you who contribute your time, your energy and even your hard-earned funds to help protect people half a world away from a simple, albeit deadly, mosquito bite.
And there is one little person who is truly amazing. Many of you may know her story already, but Katherine is about to reach $100,000 raised – or 10,000 bed nets! And that deserves a shout-out!
I first met Katherine on her 5th birthday in New York City. She had already raised $10,000 by that point, but little did we know she was just getting started!
So last month it seemed fitting that Katherine would receive an incredible honor – Katherine was awarded the Dragonfly Award – a special award to recognize an individual who has made remarkable efforts in fighting malaria. (The award is named for the natural predator of the mosquito.) Timothy Shriver, Chairman of the Special Olympics, presented Katherine with her award at the One World Summit in Washington, DC on April 24, marking World Malaria Day. And she received a standing ovation!
At just 8-years-old Katherine has done more than many of us! She has appeared on CNN, given presentations everywhere from schools to major events, been featured on the front-page of The New York Times, and even shook President Bill Clinton’s hand! And it is all due to her efforts to help protect children in Africa from malaria.
Katherine is a remarkable person and she is saving lives. I feel lucky to know her and I know we are lucky to have her as a Champion for Nothing But Nets. Congratulations Katherine. We can’t wait to celebrate your 10,000th bed net!
