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. More details about programs for children, including FaithQuest/Sunday School every Sunday at 10am, is HERE.

AFTER PENTECOST: Children's Programs, Summer Schedule

We welcome all families to St. Paul's, and invite your children to participate in Mustard Seeds (for under 5) and Faith Quest Sunday School Summer Drop In (for ages 5-10), or sit with you during the service.
 
- Mustard Seeds for our youngest children: 

Professionally staffed nursery in the back of the church (Bride's Room).

- Summertime Faith Quest Sunday School Drop In:
During the summer, families with young children are invited to join an informal, drop-in group in the courtyard, where we will read the day's readings from a children's bible and then have free-choice play and simple crafts until Communion begins. There will not be a designated facilitator, and we will lean on each other to create this community together; it will be an open invitation for any families who are present.

​At the back of the church, we will also provide take-home activity bags with a small coloring book and crayons.

​Our Faith Quest program will resume in the fall.

Loaves & Fishes

Picture
Help feed those in need during illness or other adversity

If you have experienced illness, adversity, or the birth of a child, you probably have experienced a need or desire to have someone take care of you! Our Loaves and Fishes ministry is a group of volunteers who step up to provide meals for folks in the parish who are temporarily experiencing a time when it is difficult to get meals on the table. Meals can be homemade, or a gift card can be provided. We use an online sign-up application to coordinate with the recipient and each other.
 
To offer the gift of a meal is as much a gift to the giver as it is to the recipient.  Let us know if you are in need!
 
To volunteer, or if you need some meals, contact Katie Lauter at [email protected]​


THE PANTRY OF HOPE 

Please consider volunteering this season! Contact Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton for more information.

The Pantry of Hope gives 80-100 bags of food twice a month through out the year (that is 2,000 bags of food). On Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving, we deliver more than 500 dinners to seniors who are alone on the holiday. Special thanks to St. Paul's Parishioners, St. Paul's School families, the Soroptimists, and many others, who donated time, talent and treasure to help our neighbors!
 
The Pantry of Hope welcomes your financial donations (click HERE). To volunteer, reach out to Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton.

Bags of food are given to our neighbors on the second and fourth Sundays of every month.
Consider how you can help the Pantry with:
1. Assistance in transporting food from the Food Bank on Fridays .
2. Packing bags on 2nd or 4th Saturdays.
3. Distributing bags on 2nd or 4th Sundays, after the 10am service.
