A MESSAGE FROM
ST. PAUL'S WINDS

The St. Paul's Winds is looking for  more members.  If you are high-school age or older and play clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, or French horn, give the Church office a call and ask for Dr. Randall, or speak to Mark Googasian.  We get together on Sunday evenings throughout most of the school year.  The fellowship is great and the music is pretty good as well.  Please give this your earnest attention.
