St. Paul’s Talent Show
Parish Talent Show April 24
Dinner 5:30 PM
Show 6:00 PM
This year we are expanding the show to feature not only live acts, but visual and textile arts, as well. If you paint, weave, knit, tat, draw, sculpt, turn pottery, or create some other form of beauty, please consider bringing a piece with you that night, and we will display your work for everyone to enjoy. If you can arrive by 5:00 with your item(s), we will have easels and tables in place. Call Donna Stokes-Rogers if you have any questions.
We are still looking for live acts as well! Call Donna to be put on the set list. If you have a talent that can’t be shared live, Donna can come film you, and we will create a movie as part of the intermission.
Main Street Festival Brunch for St. Paul’s Families
Our last event of the school year is coming up on Sunday, April 28th after the 11 o’clock service.

Historic Tour of the Shiloh Battlefield
The Historic Committee is offering a wonderful opportunity to tour the Shiloh Battlefield with our very own Margaret Ann Horn as our tour guide on Friday, May 10th. We will tentatively leave St. Paul’s around 8 am, enjoy a delicious lunch at the Catfish Hotel before exploring the nearby battlefield. We will return to St. Paul’s around 5 pm. There are lodging options nearby, but if you are interested in taking a chartered van and going just for the day, the cost will be around $115 per person and will be limited to the first 14 people to register.
If you are interested in taking the van, please contact libby@stpaulsfranklin.com as soon as possible to reserve your spot!
