WELCOME

Welcome to St. Pauls Web site. St. Pauls Episcopal Church is a small parish with a big heart. Our mission is to be a people rooted in Christ reaching out to the world. This image comes from both the beautiful historic oak tree adjacent to the church and the example of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus not only healed and taught all who came to him, but also named as friends some of the most unlikely people, such as a tax collector, a Roman soldier, and a foreign woman. No person was outside the reach of God in Christ Jesus. The church that bears witness to his life, death, and resurrection can do no less than welcome to fellowship, to sacrament, and to community all who come seeking peace, justice, and reconciliation. Understanding and transmitting the tradition of the scriptures from generation to generation is what keeps the church alive and relevant today. The people of St. Pauls represent a wide sampling of ethnic, economic, and educational experience. What we have in common is the love of God that causes us to gather as a faith community in service to the world. We hope you will join us at one of the Sunday Services (check for time and calendar of events on the menu). For more information, email us at stpaulsemail@comcast.net.

Wednesday Evening Service

Living into our baptismal covenant can be challenging in an age of technology-based medicine, electronic communication, and political conflicts. In the covenant of Baptism we all promise to resist evil and do good, to work for peace and justice, to continue in the apostles teaching, fellowship and prayer. How do we do these things in a hectic paced life? One way is to join in the Wednesday evening program, setting aside an hour mid week to reflect on various issues that challenge our living faithfully. We discuss ethical issues and news articles that posit questions then discuss how our faith informs our choices and actions. Each week focuses on a distinct issue drawn from newspapers, editorials, magazines, or an experience that posed a dilemma that invites discussion among persons of faith. After a brief presentation of the issue, we discuss our various perspectives, drawing from scripture, traditional wisdom and reason to suggest ways in which persons of good will while not always agreeing will determine to act. Our faith is exercised in our daily lives, not only on Sunday morning during our common experience of worship. We close with a simplified Eucharist using a Eucharistic Prayer drawn from somewhere in the world wide Anglican communion. Sharing the sacrament symbolizes how we are fed spiritually by the presence of Jesus who leads us into all truth and never abandons us in this journey. We meet in the parish hall and attendance averages ten to twelve persons, not always the same individuals, and all are welcome.
