So, here we are in July already. There is some good news on the horizon. Here are some things that are happening: 1. The church has just been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized from top to bottom. All carpets, cushions, and so on have been cleaned. 2. The church will be getting ready to open. We must work out some details, (the Vestry and Fr. Leon) so that we can have a safe opening. 3. We have to send a report, to the Bishop of our intentions as to how we are going about safely opening the church and what steps we are taking. We need her permission to do this. 4. Our next Vestry meeting this month will be to work out the details to see if we will be ready to open in August. 5. We will then let everyone know what steps they have to take to make this a successful opening. 6. Remember, this will be new and different. It will not be the same as usual. Some steps I am sure will be difficult to compre-hend but must be taken to be successful for our opening and stay-ing open. 7. I am sure that there will be no coffee hour after church at this time. This may happen at a future date. 8. We need your patience, understanding and most of all your prayers. My final thought is that in due time we will be together again and will worship the Lord our God. FINAL THOUGHT Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who (Continued on Page 4)

About St. Paul’s The earliest record of Episcopal Church services in this vicinity was 1816 when St. Stephen's Church of Perryville was incorpo-rated. At that time Chittenango was little more than a gathering of frame and log houses. From 1816-1832 rectors from St. Stephen's held missionary services in Chittenango. Around 1849 a few gentlemen who greatly admired and revered the beautiful services of the Church, agreed to make an effort to have services occasionally held. By the spring of 1855 services be-gan to be held regularly once a month in the Bethel. St. Paul's was officially organized as a parish on June 18, 1855. St. Paul’s church was built in 1865 as a Gothic Revival-style structure. The lot, build-ing, furniture and windows cost $5000. The building was completed in less that six months. The first service was held in the church on Easter Day, April 1, 1866. On May 12, 1866 the church was consecrated by Bishop Coxe. It was added to the U.S. National Historic Register of National Places in 1996.

(Warden’s Letter, Continued from Page 1) promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching. God Bless you all. With God’s help may we be together soon. Judy Bell-Olmsted, Warden
