Meals are provided on Wednesday and Friday from 5:30-6:45pm. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Pet Food Pantry
Our Pet Food Pantry ministry occurs on the third Saturday of every month. Volunteers distribute dog and cat food, cat litter, and sometimes even pet treats to those pet owners who may need a little help. We understand the responsibility and expense that comes with owning pets and we know the joy, comfort, and support that pets offer our families is essential so we want to help. Monetary donations, as well as food and litter donations, are also welcome but all donations must be in original unopened packaging for the safety of all pets. We are always recruiting volunteers and looking for donations.
Contact the office for more information.
Uncorked Spirituality
This unique ministry provides for the opportunity for parishioners and community members to gather at a local establishment to discuss a topic of today. This is usually a more relaxed way to have deeper conversation. Those who attend may purchase a meal or beverage of their choice, or simply come for the conversation and connection. ALL ARE WELCOME.

Prayer Team
This ministry is very special as it keeps us all connected through daily prayer offered by those who have committed to being in regular communication with God about the needs, challenges, and joys within the St. Paul's community. This ministry not only keeps you connected to others in the parish, but it keeps you more connected to God as you are in regular conversation. If you are interested in serving on this ministry, please let Cindy Wood or Marie O'Neil know.
These prayers are in addition to what our clergy offer on an ongoing basis.
Connections Committee
This ministry group is one that truly strives to keep everyone connected and welcomed by organizing and volunteering at special church events, luncheons, and community events. They meet regularly and help in many other areas of ministry. You can count on the Connection Committee to help you celebrate joys, journey with you in grief or sadness, and even drop by meals or other items in challenging times.
