THE PANTRY OF HOPE CONTINUES ITS WORK!
St. Paul's is carrying on with providing food to our neighbors through the work of our Food Pantry. We are only able to continue this work because of your financial gifts and volunteer time. Thank you for all the work you do to donate to the effort! Please reach out to Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton or Father Mauricio if you would like to volunteer.

FINAL ISSUE
Early January 2021
New Year’s greetings, fellow St. Paul’s parishioners! As we begin the calendar year, the work of the Regathering Task Force is nearing completion. You may well wonder why, as we don’t seem to be much more “gathered” than we did when the Task Force began its work in July! But the groundwork has been laid, and protocols for entering and seating are in place, for a measured physical regathering later this year, when health regulations allow it, and for a continuing and enhanced virtual gathering.
Work completed. At its final meeting, the Task Force looked back on the past six months, during which it had:
Recommendations going forward.
While most of these projects went well, the Task Force agreed that its work revealed the critical nature of good, intentional communication. A thoughtful, active communications group will be essential to our journey towards post-pandemic parish life.
Improvement of the audio-visual system for better live-streaming of services (see above) needs to be given the highest priority if we are to continue to be a community that worships together.
Stay safe and stay with us, everyone. We are in this together!

Work completed. At its final meeting, the Task Force looked back on the past six months, during which it had:
- Organized itself into teams to look at aspects of Parish life and communicate its work to the Parish.
- Conducted a survey of parishioners to determine priorities, which indicated strong interest in better live-streaming of indoor services and maintaining support for the Food Pantry.
- Cleaned and decluttered the building and put in place the necessary sanitizing equipment.
- Completely updated the Parish database so we can use it for better communication and for worship reservations. A worship reservation system is in place.
- Arranged for and received an assessment and recommendations for ventilation of the building; possible modifications will only partially fulfill the ventilation requirements.
- Received bids for an audio-visual system for better live-streaming of services now and for future renters of our space. (The Vestry subsequently approved funds to upgrade the system. Erica Derryck and Bill Davis will be evaluating the systems that received bids in the upcoming weeks.)
Recommendations going forward.
