Prayer Calendar

In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for La Iglesia Anglicana de la Región Central de América.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for all who serve those in need of food, clothing, and warm spaces during the cold winter months; for all ministries serving our youngest members within the Episcopal Church in Minnesota; and for all those in our faith community involved with faith formation ministries with children, youth, and young adults. We pray also for the parish of the Epiphany (Plymouth).

Saint Paul’s Parish Prayer List can be found here.

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.
