In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for all ecumenical ministries throughout Minnesota, especially for the Minnesota Council of Churches, and all those who work with social service agencies. We also pray for the parish of Saint Columba (White Earth).

As Jesus said: Love one another.

30 JULY: Save the date for Harvest Pack!

Our Harvest Pack Event is scheduled for Sunday, July 30, 2023, following our 10:00 am worship service. Harvest Pack provides nutritious meals to people experiencing hunger. Harvest Pack seeks to make healthy food accessible to all those in need. Harvest Pack meals reach people in Minnesota, nationally, and internationally. To date, 7 million meals have been packed and donated.

Our goal here at Saint Paul’s is to pack 12,000 to 15,000 meals. We need about 35 to 40 volunteers to pack meals. The time commitment is about two hours. We also need assistance with set-up and take-down. Please use the sign-up sheets in the back of the church or in the undercroft to be part of this community event. Feel free to invite family members and friends to help. Children and teens are welcome. (Kids under 7 need an adult to participate with them.) Everyone can help with the pack event! Snacks and beverages will be served to participants.

Our fundraising goal is $3000-3700. Currently we’re halfway there with donations of approximately $1800! Please consider donating to this ministry: cash donations can be made on Realm or placed in the Sunday collection plates. Please designate “Harvest Pack” in the memo.

Thank you for your generosity!

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.
