Each Sunday we celebrate Communion together at 10:30 am with music, hymns, scripture readings, a sermon and prayers. Although masks are optional, we strongly encourage those worshiping to wear a mask for their own protection and the protection of others. We look forward to welcoming you to St. Paul’s.
This past summer in a Facebook conversation, I was referred to as a social media influencer. That comment made me stop to think about what the person might have been saying.

In the wilderness of our time, we as people of faith need to cry out a message of peace that grounds us through our relationship with Jesus, the one we know as the Prince of Peace. This week’s Advent theme is the peace God offers us in His coming among us, and in His promised […]
This week’s Advent theme is hope … and there is no doubt that we always need hope and especially during the times in which we are living. The prophetic voice of faith is about crying out in the wilderness of our time that we have experienced the gift of hope and recognized it as God […]
