Life at St. Paul’s

Polishing the Church Floors  On May 18^th, we will be polishing the church floors. (hallway, bathroom, sacristy, and the dining hall) Our church cleaner, Jim, from Evergreen Commercial Cleaning, has generously offered his instructional services and equipment, free of charge, to help us get our floors polished.  We have some people already lined up to help, but can always have more help.  It will most likely require about 5 hours to complete this task.  Please let Gretchen Carr know if you are interested.  Further details will be forthcoming.   

Some of us are having difficulty hearing speakers in church. We are making adjustments to the speaker volumes; this is a work in progress.  If these adjustments do not help over time, we will do a trial with over-the-ear receivers.  Sue Ramsley needs your feedback (no pun intended) about how the sound system is working.  Are you having more difficulty hearing speakers form one podium or from both?   Has the sound/volume improved at all with the volume increases?  Please speak with Sue in person or contact her at  This email address is being protected from spambots.

St. Paul's has the opportunity to request that a Deacon be placed with us!  

A formal application is required and, on this application, there are 2 questions seeking input from the congregation:

1. Describe the church’s current outreach and ideas for future outreach ministries, pastoral care, community and diocesan activities and whether these ministries are led by clergy or lay people
2. Provide a brief profile of the church.  Share some of the characteristics of the community in which it exists.  What are the challenges you hope to address with the assistance of a deacon?

Please consider these questions and email any thoughts to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or speak directly with Sue Ramsley or Gretchen Carr.

Lectionary Gospel Study The Lectionary study of the upcoming Gospel readings has resumed on every Wednesday night at 6:30, except for the second Wednesday, due to the Bingo. No preparation is needed for this study.
