From the Rector

Our lives are quite often directed and defined by the habits we obtain along the way.

Getting into the habit of regular church attendance and involvement in church activities can become a habit that is life changing and life giving, literally! Regular church attendance for yourself and your family is a habit will no doubt direct and define your life forever.

Let's help ourselves and our families by fostering this life giving habit of life as we pray to and praise our God and His Son Jesus, and filled with the Holy Spirit work for His Kingdom.

See you here at Saint Paul's Sunday.

These funds are used to help minister to the needy within our community, to help further the work and ministries of the church when other funds are not available, and to support programs and institutions within the parish and community that minister to those in need.

I give of myself to Saint Paul's Because...
...it has given to us the opportunity to spend worship time in a wonderful building; at a past time and before the years robbed us of energy, we did lend our talent, and to close, we give our treasure in a weekly pledge. God has blessed us when we came to this church and abundantly so every day since.
