There will not be Bible Study December 24th or 31st. We will resume our study of Exodus on January 7th.


The Chrismon Tree - Chrismons are white and gold Christian monograms and symbols. The name is a combination of "Christ" and "monogram". The white symbolizes joy and holiness, while the gold represents glory and royalty. The symbols carry meaning and are meant to teach about Christ and the faith of the Church. Each week as we move through Advent toward Christmas several Chrismons will be added to our Chrismon Tree.


On Sunday, January 4th at 3:00 pm St. Paul’s will host a concert by Grammy Award winning Organist Dr. Isabelle Demers. Dr. Demers is known internationally for her virtuoso organ playing. Please make plans to attend.

Our Bishop, the Right Rev. Russell Kendrick will make his annual Episcopal Visitation to St. Paul's on Sunday, January 25th.

Blessing Box - We are in desperate need!!!!
Our Blessing Box is in need of donations of food and toiletries. Drop off on Sundays in the Parish Hall or in the office during the week. You are always welcome to put food and supplies directly into the Blessing Box.
