PICAYUNE —
Parishioners of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church continued their enthusiastic participation in the Picayune Street Fair last weekend. Members of the church, located at 1421 Goodyear Blvd., worked together to create a raffle basket containing items valued at more than $800.00. Booth workers sold raffle tickets and distributed St. Paul’s brochures and commemorative bookmarks.
The lucky raffle winner was Megan Rau of Carriere who proclaimed that she “has never won anything.” But the real winners are the children who will receive scholarships to the GPAC Summer Art Camp to be purchased with the raffle proceeds.
St. Paul’s members are busy planning their next project, the Civic Women’s Club of Picayune Pilgrimage on Saturday, Dec. 3. At that time St. Paul’s will welcome visitors to the beautifully decorated church.
St. Paul’s also hosts an annual Children’s Music Festival celebrating music education and featuring Picayune Elementary School singers.
Holy Eucharist is celebrated each Sunday at 10 a.m. Guests are always welcome at St. Paul’s, where “families meet friends, and friends become family.”
