Parish Life
St. Paul’s sees ourselves as an extended family, offering love, acceptance and hope to everyone—one person at a time. The parish life ministry wants to build strong relationships by getting people connected to others in the church, while also supporting our community. This ministry cares for the flock and creates activities for the enjoyment of fellowship with one another.
Are you interested in serving and supporting our St. Paul’s family through God’s gifts of friendship and fun? Do you want to help create opportunities for our parish family to be a community where everyone feels welcomed and involved? To get involved, contact Sally Pope or Teresa Singer to be a part of St. Paul’s Parish Life Committee.
