Thank You For Your Pledges!
We are grateful to everyone for your generous annual pledges, which play a vital role in supporting the mission and ministries of St. Paul’s. Your commitment and faith empower us to serve our congregation and the community with love and purpose. Thank you for your continued dedication to God’s work through our church!
Additional pledge cards are available in the back of the church.
Let’s Welcome Back the Healing Prayer Ministry!
Healing prayer is offered at each service during communion to individuals who wish to have personalized, one-on-one prayer with a healing prayer minister. A healing prayer minister listens carefully and empathetically and prays with individuals about their specific concerns. Healing prayer ministers serve once a month at their preferred service. If you would like to be a part of this rewarding ministry, please contact me by email at [email protected]. I will be happy to meet with you individually to discuss how to pray with others and to practice this important skill.
Coffee Hosts Needed
We still need volunteers to sign up to be Coffee Hour hosts in December!
There is a sign-up sheet to the left of the coffee pots under the Cross Wall in the Parish Hall. If you have any questions about what’s required, there is an awesome reference guide in the binder next to the sign-up sheet or feel free to reach out to our Coffee Hour coordinators Barry & Sally Cunningham at [email protected].
Sign up with a friend and kick off your Sunday with caffeine and fellowship!
Longest Night (or “Blue Christmas”)
Friday, December 20
7:00 PM
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 120 West J. Street
Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other dis-ease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people in our congregations and communities. All are welcome at this quiet gathering of prayer, music, and contemplation that makes room for all our sorrows in the midst of this busy season.
Prayer Shawls Needed:
ATTENTION St. Paul’s Knitters and Crocheters.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is in need of shawls. The knitters and crocheters of St. Paul’s have always been responsive and have created dozens of shawls, but our supply is low, and the need is always there. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know. This Ministry requires no meeting or deadlines for finishing what you choose to knit or crochet. For patterns, instructions and more information please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
There will be a short meeting in the St. Paul’s Rectory on Nov. 24 between the services. Please come and get more information and ideas for this rewarding Ministry.
Morning Prayer Weekdays at 9 a.m. in Church and on Zoom
