Whether through your time, your talent, or your financial gifts, you touch many lives through our Outreach missions….. Broad Street Clinic Five years ago, Mary Ann (not her real name) moved to Carteret County to care for her elderly parents. She had to leave a waitress position with health insurance that allowed her to manage her diabetes. Caring for her parents was her first priority. Her own health care coverage was sacrificed. Through a family member, she heard about the Broad Street Clinic. When she became a patient at the Broad Street Clinic, her A1c (glucose or blood sugar level) was 11.3. The American Diabetes Association recommends a target goal A1c of 7. The Broad Street Clinic has been able to provide Mary Ann with regular visits to a physician, diabetic education, and medications to work toward her goal. Her A1c is now 6.8. She is able to test her glucose on a daily basis with testing strips provided by the Clinic, and make adjustments to her insulin based on those readings. The clinic also provides Mary Ann with mammograms, gynecological appointments, eye exams, and dental care. Thanks to your gifts and the gifts of others to the Broad Street Clinic, Mary Ann is able to provide care for her parents, work a part time job, and maintain her own health. The “Broad Shoulders” of Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church in Beaufort was there to help carry the weight. This is just one of the many lives you touch. March Outreach — Thompson Child and Family Focus Thompson has a long history of Episcopal ministry and St. Paul's Beaufort has a long history of positive involvement in this ministry. Thompson has evolved into a leading provider of effective clinical and behavioral treatment, development education and proactive care for at-risk children and families. The Thompson Saint Peter’s Lane campus in Matthews provides an array of services including intense clinical residential treatment; day treatment programs that combine strong therapeutic intervention with individualized classroom academics; off-site, specialized treatment and support for families experiencing attachment disorder issues; and foster/adoptive placements. The Thompson Child & Family Services Center located in East Charlotte provides School Based Intervention Therapy, foster/adoptive placement, community support services, refugee services, family education, and clinical therapy outpatient services. The agency’s early childhood center in North Charlotte, Thompson Child Development Center, provides developmental and preventive programming for young children and their families through a variety of educational and therapeutic resources. The Center is five-star state licensed and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). To make a monetary contribution to this cause, you may use an outreach envelope (found at the back of the church) or simply drop your check in the plate during the service. Please make checks payable to St. Paul's Church and write “outreach” in the memo line. Checks may also be mailed to the church. 2 Carry the Water Campaign At the 132nd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina our Bishop, The Right Rev. Rob Skirving, and Millennium Development Goals Committee Chair, The Rev. Michael Singer, encouraged each parish and individual to participate in the 75th Anniversary Carry the W ater Campaign, sponsored by Episcopal Relief and Development to celebrate its 75th year of mission and ministry on behalf of the Episcopal Church USA. Their goal is to raise $7.5 million dollars by the end of 2015. The Campaign is committed to ensuring that safe and clean water is accessible even in the most rural communities. “Our water programs are part of an integrated strategy that focuses on preventing the spread of disease while promoting community health and well-being.” Did you know that… •More than a billion people around the world do not have access to clean water. •Every 15 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease. •Pollution and scarcity of this precious resource is an even greater challenge in parts of the world where women and girls bear the primary responsibility for finding and collecting water. •Often, young girls can’t go to school because they have to walk for miles to find fresh water for cooking, bathing, drinking and other basic needs. If you wish to share your resources to help this wor thy cause, ther e is a large white bucket at the back of the church, which will r emain ther e until Easter Sunday, for you to deposit your coins, bills or checks. Our group donation will be sent to ERD during the Easter Season. The bucket was carried by a delegate of St. Paul’s during the Convention as a reminder and to show solidarity with the more than 1 billion of our brothers and sisters worldwide who do not have daily access to clean water. For more information see https:// my.episcopalrelief.org/events/75th-anniversary-carry-water-campaign/e36135 Vestry The February vestry meeting was rescheduled from February 18th to February 25th due to Ash Wednesday services; the February minutes were not yet available when the Epistle was finalized.

The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper was once again a wonderful evening due to the cooperative efforts of so many. The Men's Sunday School Class provided a delicious meal of pancakes, sausage and baked apples. The men have been cooking for many, many years for this evening and have it down to an art. Crosswinds youth helped set up, served meals and cleaned up - it was a great turnout from the youth. Fr. John presented a short program and service with the help of Rick on the piano. And of course, we "buried" the Alleluia! Thank you to everyone who attended and your contributions to the Glory Ridge trip - and for those who were not able, please join us next year. It is a wonderful way to kick off Lent. -The Fellowship Committee 4 St. Paul’s Gatherings & Other News The Bible Sharing Group meets fr om 10:45-12:00 noon in the Parish House on Wednesdays.

A large group attended to hear our Treasurer, Mary Duane Hale, present the new budget. Income for the year consisted of $17,350 from our Fall Bazaar, and $2000 from the Old Homes Tour luncheons. That $2000 was donated to Broad St Clinic. Therefore, our expenses totaled $17,350, and it was also voted on and passed that our special giving project this year of $5000 would go to the diocesan Episcopal Farmworkers Ministry ‘Harvest for Hospitality’ fund. This money comes from our Savings Account mainly from cookbook sales and is used annually for large projects in the church, community or diocese. Ginny Poindexter, President, introduced the other Officers and Committee Chairs. They are Vice-President, Tricia Phillips; Secretary, Barbara Harding ; Treasurer, Mary Duane Hale; and Past President/Advisor, Lynne Eastman. Committees and Chairs are Bereavement Baskets, Pat Gallo; Sunshine, Helen O’Neal; Scholarship, Tricia Philips; UTO, Patti Dill ; Bazaar, Michelle Gregory and Ruth Daniel; OHT Luncheon, Bitsy Dudley; and Cookbook Sales, Ginny Poindexter and Mary Duane Hale.

I wanted to take the time to say, “Thank You” for all of your contributions to our Super Bowl Sub Sale and the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, and for wanting to sponsor youth to go to Glory Ridge. At the Super Bowl Sub Sale we raised just over $1,800, which surpassed the amount raised last year. We also raised over $350 from the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. As it has been mentioned, this money that we have raised is going to go towards the supplies that we will take to Glory Ridge with us to help repair damages that have taken place there. If you would like to know more about what takes place during that week, feel free to ask some of our youth that have gone in the past. They are very passionate about the work they have done there and the spiritual growth they experience. Glory Ridge Information Coming This Month Everyone has been asking, and I have recently been in contact with Father Caleb about our trip to Glory Ridge. Information will be coming out this month so be on the lookout for that. Many have asked about the cost of the trip and the total cost will be $275 per person with scholarships available. We will be sharing the space with Father Caleb’s congregation at Grace Episcopal Church, Charleston. For this reason, spaces are limited and spots will be held on a first come, first serve basis. At the beginning of the month, look out for the Registration Forms and a paper with more information. I am extremely excited about this trip and can’t wait to see how God works through the youth of St. Paul’s. Calendar for Crosswinds March 1- Cr osswinds goes to the Movies!

Support the Harvest for Hospitality Campaign The Episcopal Farmworkers Ministry has been an important part of our Diocese for thirty-three years, ministering to seasonal and migrant farmworkers residing in Johnston, Harnett and Sampson counties in Eastern North Carolina. There are many new things happening with this ministry in cooperation with the Diocese of North Carolina. A resolution was passed at Convention in 2014 asking each Diocesan household to contribute $50 toward the Harvest for Hospitality Campaign - this amount represents the average farmworkers' labor to harvest two tons of sweet potatoes (12-14 hours). At this recent Convention, Bishop Skirving and his wife announced they will donate $50 to the campaign for every Parish that provides 3 gifts. We have 241 households at St. Paul's so our goal is $12,000. The news just keeps getting better though. St. Paul's ECW recently pledged $5,000 to the Harvest for Hospitality campaign. We are well on our way to raising the necessary funds to sustain this ministry for years to come that meets the physical, social, economic and educational needs of the poorest, yet hardestworking people in our region. Please make your check payable to St. Paul's and write "H for H' in the memo line.
