6.   IT’S TIME FOR YOUR PHOTO UPDATE – Starting this Sun. Oct. 20, we will be taking photos in Campbell Hall after the 10:30 a.m. service. If you’re happy with your photo from the 2010 Directory, then we’ll reuse that photo. However, if you’d like us to update it, please drop by on Sunday when you can book an appointment (or possibly have it retaken on that day). If necessary, we will continue to book appointments for the next few Sundays. Memory sticks of all of your photos taken will be available for $5.00. The new Photo Directory will cost $5.00. If you are new to St. Paul’s, we strongly encourage you to come and get your photo taken as this is a great way to get to know everyone. We will only be taking photos for a few Sundays, so do not delay and miss the opportunity! We will NOT take photos on October 27 because of Soupwich.
 
7.   LORD, TEACH ME TO PRAY – The focus for St Paul's this year will be "Lord, Teach Me to Pray". As the disciples asked this question to Jesus in Luke 11:1, we also ask the same question to our Lord during this year.  As we learn to pray this year, one of the most important prayers to learn is the Lord's Prayer. We invite you and your family to practise the Lord's Prayer regularly with us during this year. We have new sanctuary banners reminding us of the focus this year. 
 
8.   PART TWO OF THE PRAYER WORKSHOP – Nearly thirty people attended the first prayer workshop hosted by Rob Parker Jr. last Sunday. We invite you to the second workshop led by Rob Parker Sr. on Sunday, November 3 at 7:00 p.m. in the Jubilee Room. This will be a continuation of the first workshop – not a repeat of the first one. We invite everyone to come and learn more about prayer.
