From Pastor Walker’s Desk
People of God,
Jesus once said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Luke 10:2).
I preached this text from Luke just a few weeks ago. Yet, this message speaks clearly to us today. At St. Paul’s, the harvest is indeed plentiful. God continues to send people our way—seeking food through our food pantry, community that is children, and hope for a world in distress. Ministry is happening, and the Spirit is moving. But now, we need laborers—faithful hearts and
helping hands to step up and serve. Along with our continued need for worship, and altar guild volunteers. . .
We are prayerfully seeking volunteers for several important roles:
· As many of you know, Carol and Brent Bebee have served as treasurers since 2022. We give thanks to them for taking on this important job. We are seeking to give them a needed break. No one should be compelled to stay in a volunteer position forever. We need a new Church Treasurer – someone to help steward the financial gifts we’ve been entrusted with and ensure our ministry remains strong and transparent.
We also give thanks to Jane Cramer who has supported two of our crucial ministries. One is the food pantry that meets twice a month. We are seeking someone to step in as Food Pantry Coordinator – to help manage and organize this vital outreach to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Jane has also taken the lead for our senior ministry. We need a new volunteer to take the lead. There is already a team that helps to support. We want our Prime-Time Senior Ministry to thrive– so elders in the community can gather, connect, and thrive in faith and fellowship.
These are not just tasks. They are ministries. They are opportunities to make a real difference in someone’s life—perhaps even your own. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.
Please take a moment to pray. Ask yourself: Where can I serve? What gifts might I bring? Can I offer time, wisdom, or
compassion in a way that helps this community flourish?
If your heart is stirred, or even if you just want to know more, I invite you to reach out to me or the church office. We will walk with you, equip you, and support you every step of the way.
The harvest is indeed plentiful—and the laborers are on their way.
Prayerfully,
