Sharing Your News
We encourage you to let us know when an illness, death, transition, or joyful event occurs in your life. Please contact any clergy member or Elisabeth Price in the Parish Office.
Adding a Name to the Prayer List
The Prayers of the People are found in a notebook located in front of the Baptismal Font on Sunday mornings. Names will remain on our list for one week. You may request a name remain on our list for four additional weeks by e-mail at mailbox@saintpauls.org.
Confidential Prayer Ministry: Saint Paul’s Chapter of Daughters of the King
The Order of the Daughters of the King is an international prayer and service order in the Episcopal Church. The Saint Ruth Byllesby Chapter at Saint Paul’s Church is committed to daily prayer. You may submit your prayer request to them by placing a prayer request card, found in the pews, into the alms basin when the ushers collect offerings, online by emailing the Daughters at: struthdok@gmail.com to add your prayer to their list or using the quick link on the Saint Paul’s home page in the blue bar at the top left, or by giving your written card to any member of the Daughters of the King. More information on the Daughters of the King’s Ministry can be found here.
Prayers for Healing
Prayers for healing are offered at our Celtic Evening Prayer and Communion Service on Sunday evenings at 5:30 p.m.
Pastoral Emergencies
If you have a Pastoral Emergency contact the Parish Office. After-hours instructions are available on the voicemail messages of the clergy.
Pastoral Visits and Home Communion
Members of the clergy of Saint Paul’s Church and Lay Parish Visitors make monthly visits to parishioners who are homebound or who, either through temporary illness or physical difficulty, are unable to attend services at the church. If you or someone you know might like to be visited through this program, please contact the Parish Office.
Sunday Bulletins & Announcements
Sunday Bulletins and Announcements will be mailed to homebound parishioners upon request by contacting the Parish Office. This allows homebound parishioners to stay connected to the church and follow the 11:00 a.m. Sunday service, which is broadcast live on 95.1 FM Radio.
Lay Pastoral Visitors and Eucharistic Visitors
Parish Visitors make personal visits and telephone calls, remember birthdays and celebrate other important holidays with Saint Paul’s homebound parishioners. Eucharistic Visitors complete additional training and after passing a test, are licensed to take the Eucharist to parishioners who are unable to come to church. Contact the Parish Office if you are interested in joining either of these special ministries.
