Sung prayers as the evening comes
In the Church, or watch the live stream on our YouTube channel HERE

Evensong is a short service of psalms, canticles, hymns, and anthems, sung by the choir. There is no sermon. This traditional Anglican service combines the end-of-day monastic offices of Vespers and Compline. Since the Reformation in the 16th century, the greatest composers from England and around the world have contributed to the rich musical tradition of this uplifting and beautiful liturgy.

​Be with us for this gentle service that unlocks internal doors of hope and peace.

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: Food for the Holidays

On Christmas day we delivered over 400 prepared hot meals to our neighbors in need. With the cost of food on the rise and the social safety net shrinking, the need is great. 

Efforts like this require both a tremendous volunteer effort and money to purchase groceries and meals. In this season of generosity, please consider making a gift to the St. Paul’s Pantry of Hope to make outreach like this possible. 

You can make your donation by credit card or bank transfer HERE (choose Pantry of Hope from the drop down menu) or by check mailed to the church office or placed in the offering plate any Sunday before Christmas, with “Pantry of Hope” in the memo. 

Please also consider volunteering to deliver meals on Christmas Day (details forthcoming). ​​Contact Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton for more information.


Video streams for services are now on our YouTube Channel HERE. Recordings are usually posted to YouTube later that day.
