PARISH ACTIVITIES
St. Paul’s has many who provide
ministry through their Music, both the Adult and the Children’s Choir, teaching
Sunday School , preparing the Altar for services, hosting Coffee Hour, preparing
Lunch on Us, and many behind the scenes projects.
From September through May, members
from each service come together to share and enjoy a Pancake Breakfast in
Rennell Hall. On the 3rd Sunday of the month, the Pancake guys
prepare sausages, pancakes, coffee, tea, and juice, and clean up while we visit
with each other.
For over 25 years, St. Paul’s members
have provided a Sunday luncheon for anyone in need of nourishment or
companionship in the local area. The Lunch on Us program begins after Labor Day
and lasts into June. Five Sundays a year, the Mom’s Group, a community based
program, offers their service in preparing a meal for our Guests, as they also
feel a personal reward in doing God’s work.
Four times a year we host the day
portion for Fish Hospitality. Fish is a group of (essentially) homeless women
and their children who receive assistance as they move forward in regaining
their independence.
Fund raisers occur 3 times a year.
Over 200 people are called by parishioners each spring and fall to inform them
of the Rummage Sale, and the Silent Auction in November.
Community based groups meet in
Rennell Hall on a regular basis. We sponsor Boy Scout Troop 40 who meets here
weekly, and we offer space for the Cub Scouts who are sponsored by the Church
across the street. Additionally we provide a place for two ESL groups; the
early and advanced English as a Second Language. A group of approximately 50 AA
members are here weekly, as are the Mom’s Group previously mentioned. Monthly,
we provide a place for the Literary Guild, and for the Blood Drive.
As you can see, St. Paul’s is a
vibrant and active parish who share their love through helping hands for many.
