🎒 Back to School: Let the Fun Begin!
Summer break was awesome, but guess what? It’s time to grab your backpack, sharpen those pencils, and head back to school! 📚✨
A new school year means new classes, new friends, new adventures, and lots of exciting things to learn. Sure, waking up early might not be everyone’s favorite part 😴, but there are plenty of reasons to be excited!
Get your favorite school supplies ready, pick out a cool outfit, and set some fun goals for the year. Maybe you want to get better at math, join a club, make new friends, or finally master that tricky subject.
Remember, school isn’t just about homework and tests—it’s also about laughing with friends, discovering new interests, and making memories you’ll never forget.
So pack your bag, bring your biggest smile, and get ready to make this school year your best one yet! 🌟✏️🎉

Change for Change Campaign – How is everyone’s change collecting coming along? Are your bags full? There is one more month left to keep adding those coins to help the M&S Fund!
The Outreach Committee is inviting everyone to collect their loose change over the summer and donate it to the Mission & Service Fund. Lovely decorated collection bags are available at the church, or you may use a bag of your own. Please return your collected change by the end of September. If you would like your donation included on your year-end tax receipt, please be sure to clearly label your bag with your name.
If you are not into collecting coins, our campaign is online also… help us turn change into change! Click here to help https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/119197150RR0001-st-pauls-united-church/p2p/change-for-change
