ST PAUL'S STRATEGIC PLAN 2013: 'FRUITS OF THE HARVEST' The Vestry of St Paul's Episcopal Church in Delray Beach, Florida has commissioned the creation of this Strategic Plan to help guide our church's journey over the next five years. The Plan is a formal statement of who we are as a church and where we want to be as a church in the future. This Plan is an important tool which will help ensure St Paul's best achieves its Mission, Vision, and Goals.
We challenge all members of St Paul's to review this Plan carefully and become involved with Plan implementation. Member participation can take many forms and begins with identifying one or more areas of interest described in this Plan and then making this interest known to our clergy, Vestry or the Strategic Planning Team. Our church vitally needs help from membership with execution of initiatives articulated in this Plan as well as identification of other areas of need that may not yet be included in this Plan.

Please pray for the success and safety of her trip and the work of the volunteers in Honduras. Please consider volunteering as a tutor for the program; tutoring is done on-line via Skype on a computer at the St Paul's office or on your own computer at home.
