Dear Members and Friends of St Paul’s,

I am writing you today to ask for your assistance. St Paul’s United Methodist Church is currently reaching out to our church family for "Crisis Donations" to our General Fund, and we would truly appreciate your help.

St Paul’s has suffered greatly over the past few years as the community ages and Church attendance lags. We have arrived at the point where, with damage to the building by flood, we are unable to maintain the building or ministry without your help.

Help us keep the doors open and the ministry vibrant here in Bridgeport. We ask for your support in prayer, by your presence, and with your financial assistance.

There is an envelope enclosed..... We ask that you pray over it and help, in whatever way possible, to keep St Paul’s in Ministry for another 175 years.

Your Servant in Christ’s Name,

　

　

Rev G. Mel Dunn

Pastor
