Prayer Calendar

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

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 Saints Martha and Mary (Eagan).

Pray for migrants, refugees, and displaced people throughout the world. Pray also for those in our country who have been taught to fear or hate people different than they are.

Our Parish Prayer List can be found here.
If you wish to be visited by a member of our Pastoral Care Team (including our rector or deacon), request prayers for yourself or someone else on the Parish Prayer List, or simply make someone aware of an acute or ongoing need, please e-mail [email protected].

This list is maintained to assist you in praying for the parish and the larger community throughout the week. To add your friend or loved one to this list, e-mail Deacon Barbara with your request and any additional details: [email protected]. Your request will be shared with our pastoral care team, as well as Saint Paul’s clergy.

Hands to Service

Groveland and Joyce Uptown Food Shelves joyfully receive Saint Paul’s weekly donations. Our theme for July will be non-perishable salad toppings. Please bring items to church as part of your weekly offering, and place in baskets in the Narthex.

Step up to the Food Shelf Challenge: Bring SEVEN items in over the course of the seventh month – let’s fill the baskets each week!!

Saint Paul’s and The Bridge for Youth are working together this summer to manage a small garden in their backyard. So far, we have done a major clean-up and planted some veggies. We are working with a youth coordinator to plan the summer, including additional plantings and a sculpture contest. If you’d like to join us, please contact Prisca Cushman.

Downtown Congregations to End Homelessness (DCEH) is collecting new and gently used adult luggage, bags, and backpacks for our summer goods drive campaign through Labor Day. Drop off your donations in the large white box in the Narthex.

Jefferson Community School will once again be the recipient of our donation drive of new backpacks and school supplies for children and youth. Download the shopping list here, and prepare to bring your donations to church on Sundays during August.
