“And now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” - I Corinthians 13:13

St. Paul's Community

Charity work is one of the cornerstones of the Christian faith. Whether it’s through volunteering, donations, or providing a safe haven for those in need, the church remains a foundation of service in our neighborhood and town. Another New Year approaches and there are vacancies on several of our Church committees and small groups. The important work of the congregation is conducted through all of us and our Ministers.

Where would you like to fit in? You pick what fulfills your idea of the "Time, Talent and Treasure" you would like to give to St. Paul's and our community at large. Just because a name is not beside the committee or group does not mean no one is available to talk with. Permission has not been granted to put this information on our web site as of yet.

All these groups offer various commitment levels so they can work around your schedule. They groups generally meet one evening a month for approximately two hours. Some can be done all through email and telephone and others will need a bit more time. If you are interested in any of these and could volunteer a little time for our very important work. You don't have to wait to be "nominated" the choice is yours as to where you would like to fit in. All these committees have small sub groups that also may be of interest. Contact the church office for who the current chair is, email the chair or please get in contact with Barbara Carson, chair of the Nominations Committee.
