Welcome to Summer at St. Paul's

We are a community that welcomes and accepts the diversity of people who come to worship and to our hot meal program on Fridays, called Manna Meals. We grow in our hospitality and in our understanding of being followers of Christ as we practice serving one another, and all who are in need. We have Sunday school classes for adults, youth and children on Sunday mornings (9:45). We also have a group of single and married young adults who plan monthly activities and a resource ministry for those struggling with alcohol and chemical dependency.

We are very connected to our Cherry Street neighborhood. We host a street Barbeque each September with live music, games for children and barbeque done right. We cheer the bikers and runners who participate in races past the church, and we participate in the Christmas parade. Sometimes we travel into the Brookside area and enjoy the BooHaHa parade as well. The Circus brought elephants past the church one Sunday just as worship let out, what a treat!

This is a small church where getting acquainted is fairly easy, and nearly everyone takes part in the service and ministry of the church. We eat together every 3rd Sunday, and enjoy laughter, singing and food. We seek to grow in love. Come and join the fellowship!
