St. Paul's has many, many opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to serve at the church, in the local community and to bless those around the world. After all, Jesus one time noted that when we feed someone who is hungry, give drink to someone thirsty, invite in the stranger, give clothes to the needs, care for the sick or visit those in prison, we are in fact doing these things for the Lord. (Matthew 25: 31-46) Listed below are many of the activities and agencies with whom we partner, but to find coming opportunities click the "Upcoming Events" button.
