Children and all Families are Welcome!
We welcome all families to St. Paul's, and invite your children to participate in our Children's Programs, or remain with you during the service. The Bride's Room (at the back of the church), is available for children and families, and is professionally staffed. Families with young children are invited to join an informal, drop-in group in the central courtyard. Take-home activity bags with a small coloring book and crayons are located the back of the church.

2025 Back to School Supply Drive
DEADLINE: JULY 27
Please join us in supporting our fourth annual back to school supply drive!
Believe it or not, school starts less than a month!
This is the fourth year that St. Paul’s has supported K-5 students in two local elementary schools and two junior high schools by providing much needed school supplies. Inflation. tariffs and so many cuts in education have made the cost of everything go up, and school supplies are no exception. Providing needed school supplies is a wonderful way we can help set the stage for a successful academic year for these students.
The five schools that we support are:
St. Paul’s Episcopal School. Madison Academy, Oakland. The students in the afterschool program at La Primera Iglesias, a Spanish Language congregation in East Oakland. Two junior high schools in Oakland
This year we would like to support 150 students. The deadline for collecting supplies is July 27th.
There are several ways that you can help.
1. Purchase supplies on the list below: For younger children, select thicker pencils, markers etc. and blunt tipped scissors. The approximate cost per student is about $30 for all the supplies on the list.
2. Make a donation. You may drop a check in the offering plate, mail your check to the office, or donate online now:
Click on the button HERE Choose “Give to Social Justice ” in the drop-down menu.
3. Help us assemble bags for each student on Sunday, July 27, after church at 11:30.
4. Help write brief notes of encouragement to the students. We will provide the materials on July 27.
SUPPLIES NEEDED (for each student)
#2 pencils (wide for K-2 students, regular for grades 3-5)
Pink wedge erasers
Colored pencils
Markers
Glue sticks
Single subject wide ruled spiral notebook
Wide ruled paper
