Faith in Action

Winter Blessing Bags can be found in the bins outside the Undercroft. Please take several to keep in your car, and share them with neighbors in need!

Food shelf donations:
Saint Paul's Church partners with Joyce Uptown Food Shelf to help feed our neighbors in need. Watch for our Reverse Advent Calendar food drive to begin on 29 November!

Saint Paul's Little Library is perpetually popular! Children's picture books and adult fiction are still most needed; all donations can be placed in the bins outside the Undercroft. Your continued generosity helps make this outreach possible.

Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Team has a request for all: as we practice our social distancing, do not let that extend to social isolation. Take a few minutes every day to call someone to see how they are doing – to reach out and say a prayer with them and/or find out if they need anything. One of the things that is so important right now is to connect with our community. If there are those who need help, please let us know and we will figure out how to assist; if you are that person, please reach out to Deacon Janet or Pat Trumbull. As Jesus said: Love one another.
