If you are new to St. Paul's, new to a different service or just haven't been in a while, let us know by picking up one of the green mugs and giving us a chance to introduce ourselves. For our long-time members, extend a greeting and invite them into conversation. We tend to say hello to the same people week after week. Take a minute and meet someone new!

STAFF PROGRAMS AND MINISTRIES
EDUCATION
Children's Ministry This Sunday in Children's chapel the focus is on Tabitha and on loving acts. This discussion will continue in Seasons of the Spirit, while Building Blocks explores knowing Jesus in doubt. Sunday School happens immediately following the 9:00 a.m. service. Please help children to get there right away, so that they do not miss any of the essential information used in the lesson, and to preserve the continuity of the lesson for the other students.
