Covid Update
Because the state has temporarily reinstated the wearing of masks indoors we will be requiring all who enter St Paul’s to wear masks during their attendance at St Paul’s events.
St Paul’s Reopening Task Force met on August 26th and decided to keep all current Covid restrictions in place. The Taskforce will continue to monitor Covid activity in the area and make appropriate changes to our policies as those changes dictate.
Thank you for helping us keep our church safe for all who enter.

Help us help our community by giving online
We have activated our online giving system and we hope that you will use the button below to access the Online Giving page. Because we are obligated to provide a record of your donations you will need to register for this online service and set the parameters for your account. We are hoping that you will take advantage of this service especially while we are practicing “social distancing”. You can choose from credit and debit cards, ACH direct withdrawal and text messaging. All of these services require a small fee. Please help us get as much of your donation to St Paul’s as possible by using the ACH method if you can (it has the lowest fees) and/or agreeing to pay the extra fee involved. This will mean so very much to our mission programs. If you need help please contact us at: Online Giving Help
