Prayer Calendar

In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Church of Pakistan.

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 for our youngest members within the Episcopal Church in Minnesota; and for all those in our faith community who are involved with faith formation ministries with children, youth, and young adults. We also pray for the parish of Saints John and Paul (Virginia/Eveleth).

Saint Paul’s weekly Parish Prayer List can be found here. If you wish to be contacted by a member of our Pastoral Care Team and/or priest, request prayers for yourself or someone else on the Parish Prayer List, or simply make someone aware of an acute or ongoing need, click the blue button below.

Faith in Action

The Reverse Advent Calendar Food Drive was once again very successful – 30 bags of food and other essentials were delivered to Saint Nicholas Episcopal Church’s food shelf! Many thanks to all for your generous participation. Together we make a difference in people’s lives!

January’s donation theme is SOUP: cartons, cans, cups, or noodle bricks! Each week place your shelf-stable soups in the basket outside the Undercroft. Email Laurie (or call 612-849-1348) to help with delivery to the site of your choice.

From Joyce Uptown Foodshelf:
“Monetary donations are the most helpful and can be made through the PayPal link here or sent to Joyce Uptown at 3041 Fremont Ave S, Minneapolis 55408. For every $1.00 donated we can purchase $2.20 of food from our foodbanks.”

Saint Paul’s Little Library always needs recent adult fiction and children’s picture books. Your generosity is appreciated!

The Ukraine Crisis Response Fund is still accepting donations to aid those displaced by the Russian invasion. Donate here.

And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

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.
