There is no Adult Education or Church School Today

Thank you!

You must have noticed by now, how much improved the sound is in the Sanctuary.  Many thanks to Berred Ouellette for his handiwork and wonderful design.  The sound system was given to the Glory of God in memory of H. Richard Wallace.

Adult Education for Epiphany: Mission & Ministry at St. Paul's

During the season of Epiphany we will hear from three ministries at St. Paul's;  Ministry Outside the Parish (M.O.P.), and the Food Pantry.  People involved with each of these ministries will share their experiences and discuss what the future holds for each program.  Please join us at 9:00a.m. in the Lichtenberger Room for these discussions.  All are welcome.  Newcomers are particularly encouraged to attend.  These sessions are wonderful opportunities to hear more about life at St. Paul's.  Coffee is provided.
