Please remember to set your clock back one hour before going to bed Saturday night so you can be on-time for church on Sunday! This is also the day we collect loose change and other offerings in our plastic 'Change Barrel' to provide assistance to House of Bread in Dayton - serving lunch 365 days a year to those in need. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
 
LIONS Recycle for Sight ... and St. Paul's helps! Do you have old or extra eyeglasses you no longer use?  Please bring them to St. Paul's and deposit them in the Lions Club box in the Narthex. This will be an ongoing opportunity to help others! Thank you! 

The fall season is upon us and the sounds of singing surround St. Paul’s once again. The adult choir is back in full swing, rehearsing now on Sunday mornings following coffee hour. Please consider joining us. New faces are welcome at any point throughout the year. We are a friendly and inviting group and would love to make music with you. No prior experience or training is required. If you have any questions, please contact Director of Music, Cara Whitby, at 937-293-1154 or cara@stpauls-dayton.org
 
We are looking forward to sharing not only the sounds of singing, but also flutes, trumpets, and handbells in the weeks leading up to the start of advent. Please mark your calendars, as you will not want to miss these musical offerings:
 
11/3: The All Saints’ Day liturgy will be a joyous musical experience, with former choir members joining us, along with trumpeter, Aaron Moen, and members of our handbell choir (music is made possible through special funding that day by the Magill family)
 
Blessings on all of you and may we raise our voices and spirits in song and thanksgiving to the Lord!

From Mike Miller, Junior Warden

A few years ago, Troop 101 ceased being a registered unit with BSA, and now Pack 101 is shutting down. It is with a heavy heart that due to declining participation within Cub Scout Pack 101 over the years, it was determined by Pack 101 leadership, in consultation with the BSA Miami Valley Council and the Chartered Organization Representative (me), that the most appropriate and beneficial course of action would be to transfer actively enrolled Pack 101 scouts to another local pack, Pack 151. That is happening right now with the annual rechartering process already underway.

The transferring of actively enrolled scouts from Pack 101 to Pack 151 occurred on July 12 of this year in preparation to execute a successful 2024-2025 scout program. To fully support the scouting program, the scouts that transferred, and the unit that accepted our cub scouts, the main objective of having a quality scouting program at Pack 151 has been achieved.

St. Paul’s, as the chartering organization, is now tasked with clearing out the scout hall with an effort to memorialize our church’s storied history with the BSA program. It is heartbreaking to me. Our long run is ending with BSA, and we want to see Pack 151 thrive. We are in the process of allocating all material possessions wanted by Pack 151 to them while determining what to do with the remaining items that are not transferred to them.

If you are interested in joining this work, please contact me, Mike Miller, about your interest in helping either cleaning or in discussion about a BSA memorial space in the former scout room.

Happy Birthday to those born in the month of November!
