Get Involved!

When asked what can we do in out current climate, the answer is participate in ministry. In this time

of testing for us as a Diocese, the key issue is whether we will focus on Gospel ministry or fret about

the fate of our properties. The former is our Great Commission obligation, and within our control.

The latter is beyond our control and challenges us to trust in God’s provision. May we all be found

faithful putting the first things first.

If you are wondering how you can get involved here at St. Paul’s continue reading. If you are already

involved continue reading and pray for these ministries and groups specifically.

Margie’s Closet: This ministry collects clothing for all ages male and female and distributes it during

our food distribution. More information/get involved email: Margie at [email protected].

IMFD: Every second Saturday members of the parish and members of the community come

together and serve 140-160 clients breakfast and pass out food. More information/get involved

email: April at [email protected].

Stephen Ministry: This past winter we started Stephen Ministry by training a group of males and

females to minister to those in need of prayer and inner healing. More information/get involved

email: Chris at [email protected].

Daughters of the King: This is a group of women/girls between the ages of seven and one hundred

and seven who desire a closer walk with the Lord. More information/get involved email: Dawn at

Especially in the Church Building. More information/get involved email: Betty at

opportunities to teach them about Christ. Help us show Christ’s love to them. More information/get

involved email: Shannon at [email protected].

Membership track starting this fall. There is no commitment. Join us for one class, three classes or

all classes. More information/get involved email: Heather at [email protected].

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THIS MORNING

Welcome to St. Paul’s! We hope to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcomed with open arms. Here is the information that you need to know for a successful morning of worship and Sunday School:

Worship as a Family (all ages): At St. Paul’s we encourage families to worship together on Sunday mornings, therefore children in third grade and older will remain with their parents throughout the service. If you or your children are not comfortable with this, please know that we understand and recognize that it might take time to develop the routine. We’re here to help, so don’t hesitate to ask a priest about successful family worship. Kids Church (ages 3 –7) Sign-in for Kid’s Church will be in St. Paul’s Central of Doar Hall. Sign them in before service starts with Mrs. Shannon or the volunteer. Children will remain in worship with their parents for the first two songs. Mrs. Shannon will take the children to Kid’s church after the Kyrie. Pick-up for children's church will be different from the past. Mrs. Shannon will bring the children to St. Paul's Central during the offertory. At that time parents please come to the doors and show your security tag to pick your child up. Children will be seated in their age groups for convenience. For the Church Building: Check-in will be in Doar Hall. A volunteer will walk them over to the C/Y Building during after the Gospel reading. The same volunteer will bring them back to pick up before the peace. Nursery check-in will remain in the C/Y Building at the nursery. Once they enter the Worship Center they will find lots of friendly faces welcoming them along with activity centers that will start their lesson time. They will continue with these until the sermons have ended:

If you are attending the Church building service, please pick your child up at the end of the sermon. If you are attending the Doar Hall service, please look for your child entering the sanctuary and wave to them so they can find you.

Communion—Anyone baptized in the Christian faith is welcome to receive communion at St. Paul’s. Please note: The Communion elements consist of real wine and bread or wafers containing wheat. Please ask the bread server for gluten free wafers. Receiving one or the other of the elements is considered participating as fully in the Eucharist as anyone who receives both. All guests are invited to visit our Welcome Table after the service today to receive a gift and information about St. Paul’s. Giving—Cash and checks may be placed in the offering plates. We have electronic giving centers in Doar Hall for debit and credit cards. St. Paul’s does not want anyone to incur debt in order to give to the Lord. We offer the electronic giving centers as a convenience. Giving Envelopes—are available for your convenience. You may pick up a pack in the church office, in the back of Doar Hall, or the Church Building.
