It seems like only yesterday that our wonderful, pastor, Reverend Mary Brown Oliver joined us as the shepherd of our flock. The fact is, Reverend Oliver has been with us for three years now, making her the first female pastor in the 210 year history of St. Paul.

On Sunday, July 8, 2001, we will celebrate this event at the 10:45 a.m. worship service. The theme of this joyous occasion will be "Strength and Honor Are Her Clothing" which is suitable because of our pastor's extraordinary strength of character and effortless grace.

So mark your calendar, invite your family and  friends and help us celebrate this marvelous occasion. The guest pastor will be Reverend George DeFord of Metropolitan United Methodist Church located in Pomonkey, Maryland.

There will be a reception immediately following the worship service.
