Among the visitors welcomed on Sunday were the parehts and grand- parents of the rector, the Reverend Greg Gilson. During the "Children's Focus" Mr. Gilson brought the children's attention to the various changes in appearance of the church at the time of Advent, when the color "purple" becomes evident. The significance of the Advent wreath was also discussed, and the first candle was lit by Michelle Shropshall. Greeters and sidesmen at the service were Eric Switzer and Bruce Bartliff. Assisting Mr. Gilson during the service of Holy Communion was Scott Wilson, a member of St. Paul's Youth Group. Following the service, a very pleasant cof- fee and fellowship hour was hosted by the Youth Group. The congregation was reminded that the annual White Gift Sunday will be on Sunday, December 5.
