Assistance to Immigrants

Thinking of our past involvement with Hmong people, Joel Bamford would like to have contact with anyone interested in our parish and immigrant \ sanctuary issues.  Fill out the contact form on the home page to get connected! 

Chance to Serve:

​We are in need of people who can help with lunches and receptions during the day.  They typically take place at noon or mid-afternoon after funerals and memorial services.  Tasks include setting up tables, putting out food and beverages and cleaning up afterwards.  The commitment is 1-2 hours and offers the benefit of socializing with some really wonderful people! 
We would like to have a list of volunteers who could help.  If you would like to be on the list to be called to help out when there is a lunch or reception please contact Susan Anderson in the church office (office@stpaulsduluth.org or 724-3535). 

Pastoral Visits/ Prayer Requests

Hospital Visits:   Please call or email to let the pastoral care staff know if you or a loved one is in the hospital. Due to privacy laws, hospitals no longer call the church and let them know that a parishioner is a patient, so we have no way of knowing you are in the hospital if we don’t get notification.
Pastoral Visit:  The pastoral staff is available anytime if you would like to talk.  

Prayer Requests:  If you or someone you know would like to have their name added to the list that is prayed for during Sunday services, please email the name. 

Support Groups:

 Alanon groups meet in the Carriage House, above the garage next to the church building.. Meeting times:  Friday, 11:00  Friday,   6:00 p.m.

An Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) meets 5-7pm Tuesdays in the Carriage House 
 
An Overeaters Anonymous Support Group meets in the Carriage House  on Tuesday afternoons at 1:00 p.m. 

We are proud to be partners with several local social service agencies and assist them with our time, talent and treasure.  CHUM is an organization made up of several congregations that serve the needs of many in our community and
Loaves and Fishes has several homes of hospitality just to name a few.  You can check our monthly newsletter for outreach events coming up. 

​Outreach In Our Community

Damiano Soup Kitchen 

The first Monday of every month volunteers from St. Paul's prepare lunch from 8:30 am. to 11:30 and serve it from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. We usually serve between 250 to 300 meals.   For additional information and to volunteer contact the parish office.

S.O.S Days/Fifth Wednesday

 S.O.S. (Serving Others Sunday) held in the fall and spring is a time for us to say "the church has left the building!"  We head out into the community to serve those in need.  Also, on the Fifth Wednesdays of the month, our Wednesday Church Night is a service project to support a local agency- we might help with a food pack at Second Harvest, or make sandwiches for street outreach.
