Worship at St. Paul's

Worship is the central concern of St. Paul's. As participants in worship we bring many ways of believing into a common prayer for the world and ourselves while praising and giving thanks to our Creator. Weekly services are designed to meet the broadest of spiritual needs. Various kinds of music are used to give voice to our prayer as well as various forms both from the Book of Common Prayer, the traditional Episcopal prayer, and newly approved materials that are rooted in our Anglican tradition.

The Prayer Chain

The Prayer Chain is a group of people who pray very hard for those people who are in more critical situations, such as the day of someone's surgery or when someone experiences a crisis. To start the chain, call the office or Alfreda Archie at 724-4677. Other members of the chain are Dorothy Ayers, Dottie Bachman, Mary Buffum, Barbara Dailey, Jane Reed, Judy Shannon, Bill and Keri Smith, and Mary Van Osten,. The names of people added to the chain are not published. Typically, prayers are said for anywhere from a few days to two or three weeks.

Pastoral Care at St. Paul’s

    We are looking for people to minister to our parishioners who are no longer able to be with us for worship. Rev. Susanna will train you at your convenience. Please contact Karen Cahill if you find yourself drawn to this work-it is very rewarding. (785-2173)
     Circumstances change and you may need someone to bring you communion for a little while as you recuperate from surgery or treatment. If you need a pastoral visitor please contact the Parish Office and we will take your information. We want to know and we want to visit! Call us at 748-8118.
     Finally, if you or a loved one is in the hospital please contact the parish office to let us know. We know the hospitals take the information upon admitting, but it often takes them two to three days to relay it on to us (if at all.) More times than you can imagine, the person has already gone home! Please, please let us know-748-8118.

A Plea from your Rector: Let us know.

Because of the current HIPAA regulations, hospitals and care centers will not release information about patients. We have NO way of knowing if you or a loved one has been hospitalized. Please, please call the parish office or the rector directly if you or a member of your family is in the hospital. We want to know so we can pray for you and so we can visit and support you during this difficult time. Thank you.
