HOW WE SERVE

There are many ways we can continue to help our neighbor during a pandemic!  Ideas are below and more will continue to be added. Visit each month for ideas on how you can love and serve your neighbor or check out previous ideas below. 
​

United Way has a COVID-19 Community Economic Relief Fund. They will help with bills, rent and food. You can call 211 and provide zip code and will be given a list of local agencies to provide assistance.

Serve in the Church

There are numerous ways to serve at St. Paul's; assisting in leading worship, in the Faith Formation programs, serving on the lay leadership council called vestry or other committees.  Check out  "groups"  and contact the parish office for more information.

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.
