I give of myself to Saint Paul's Because...
|
....it is filled with loving and welcoming people doing their best to fulfill Jesus' instruction to love God and love your neighbor as yourself; the service is sacred and renewing; the sermons are thought provoking and inspiring; people are accepted for where they are on their Christian journey.
- Val Ross
...you actually get to do stuff like give out a lot of food at Manna Pantry and dress up for pageants.
- Andrew Bateman (age 7)
