 Spring Church Yard & Building Clean-Up
Saturday, March 25th
9 AM - Noon
In preparation for the Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter Sunday season with the main focus being the church yards’ back lots. There is a lot of work to be done in raking and collecting leaves, small branches and many pinecones. There are also larger branches to be taken down and cut up. And we will need pick-up trucks and trailers to collect all debris as it all has to be hauled away to a waste station.
Clean-up inside will be the same process as the Fall clean-up; there will be index cards with assigned tasks. Volunteers can come into the church as their time permits to grab a card and accomplish the needed tasks. Please contact Barbara Lynn Manlove with any questions or information at bmanlove434@gmail.com. Thank you very much to everyone who can lend a hand, truck, trailer and their time to help with this spring spruce up!!

HEALTH MINISTRY
Seven years ago, St. Paul’s received an AED, (automated external defibrillator), from the State of Delaware. At the time I wrote several articles about the equipment and demonstrations for use. However, it has been a long time since we acquired this equipment and the loss of years with Covid brings the concern a review is perhaps needed again and perhaps even the location of the equipment has been forgotten.
The AED device is available in Fellowship Hall directly next to the bulletin board. It is attached to the wall in a glass enclosed box. It is easily activated once open with voice prompts giving the person administering it, directions of use, step by step.The AED is a sophisticated yet easy to use medical device which sends electrical shocks to restore the normal rhythm of the heart of those in cardiac arrest which could save a life. It can and does save lives when moments of action are few! Please familiarize yourself with the location. In the future, we will be offering certification
classes in AED/CPR/First Aid as soon as we have a certified instructor in-place. More information will follow as soon as we can get this organized.
Thank you, Ann
