Making A Difference
Do you feel called to care for others? St. Paul’s is a place of connection, allowing you to use your gifts, graces, and talents within our church. We believe in the power of community, offering countless opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.
You’ll find many ways to express God’s love through support, friendship, and loving encouragement with people of all ages and circumstances. As you do, you’ll find the more you give, the more you receive. Come share in St. Paul’s ministry of love and service!
Visitation
Members routinely visit hospitals, care centers, and the homes of those who are relatively homebound to provide friendly conversation, support, and encouragement. You can also be trained to visit church members in the hospital as needed.
Communion Ministry
Sharing the sacrament of the Eucharist can be a profound way to provide spiritual care to others. Trained team members take consecrated communion elements to the homebound and to care center members quarterly and sometimes during the Holy seasons.
Flower Delivery
Members visit and deliver flowers to those who are homebound, in care centers, and needing a “we care about you” small bouquet. (Flowers are from the altar arrangements and memorial services.)
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you.
John 13:34 NRSV
