2004 Report        The St. Paul's church women met quarterly in 2004.  On February 14, we had a Continental Breakfast.  Our featured speaker's topic was "Living Life With a Purpose."  She spoke about scrap-booking with a purpose and how it related to living life with a purpose.        Cheryl Biel was the featured speaker at the Spring Salad Buffet.  She did a meditation on the 23rd Psalm.  The speaker for our Fall Gathering was Don Bania, a quadriplegic who draws by holding a pencil in his mouth.        The speaker at our Christmas luncheon on December 4th was Tami Briggs, a therapeutic harpist.  She shared some stories from her ministry and played several Christmas Carols.  We also coordinated a program remembering the shut-ins with a Christmas visit and a small gift.       Our regular projects during the year include the collection of used eye glasses, stamps, and Campbell's labels, serving at funerals and other kitchen related events, communion serving under the direction of the Altar Guild,, and sponsorship of Rachel's Day and Blanket Day.  The quilts and blankets were donated to a missionary.  We also had a special collection of towels and wash cloths at our Fall Gathering.
