Celebrating the Seasons of the Church Year

St. Paul's provides inter generational events that help bring the seasons of the church year into your home; Ordinary Time, Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.  Check out ideas for each season below and the seasonal festivals we offer!  ​

Advent

Picture
Advent is the four weeks before Christmas. Our Advent Around the World Festival is one of our biggest events of the year where you can learn about Advent customs in different countries and take home ideas  for the Real Reason for the Season.
Learn More about Advent

Lent

Picture
Lent is a time to look at ourselves and the changes we need to make in our lives. We can make more room for God by choosing not to do some things (fasting) and by choosing to do other things (feasting). Our Lent Festival  includes ideas for all ages and even "Lent in a Bag" to take home.

Christmas

Searching for the spirit of Christmas amid the shopping, parties and lights? Discover how Jesus is born in our hearts at Christmas! Our Happy Birthday Jesus Party and our Christmas Eve Services include a no-rehearsal pageant as we welcome the birth of Jesus!

Easter

Picture



The week before Easter we journey through Jesus' last days on Earth and  Death on a Cross; but the story doesn't end there; Jesus rises from the Dead! Our Alleluia Festival on the day before Easter, helps us realize Easter is more than chocolate bunnies.

Epiphany

Picture
The “Twelve Days of Christmas” refers to the days from December 25th through January 6th. On January 6th (the twelfth day or epiphany), we remember the wise men who followed a star to find the baby Jesus... Find out more about Epiphany, and how to survive Christmas vacation.

Pentecost

Picture
The Holy Spirit came down onto Jesus' disciples and is alive in our hearts. We celebrate the "birthday" of the church on Pentecost, and we learn how the Spirit gives us life by flying kites and other fun "wind" and Holy Spirit activities
