Join us for Worship

Pentecost Sunday • May 24

Join us on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, as we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. During worship, our Confirmands will affirm their Baptism, marking this joyful milestone in their life of faith.

After the service, everyone is invited to a celebratory potluck picnic on the lawn. Bring a side dish to share and enjoy fellowship on this festive day.

And remember — wear red as a sign of the Spirit’s flame among us.

“Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed.”                    — Isaiah 1:17

Recently, Pastor Andrea invited us into the shared work of justice and compassion. In response to this call to action, St. Paul’s members are building a community within our congregation to share information, learn about advocacy opportunities, and participate in events to stand up and speak out for a more just world.
