Summer Band Concert: Join us on Monday, June 16th at 7pm in the parking lot (the gym if it’s raining) for a free band concert! Hosted by Jeff and Emilie La Roux, the summer band is meeting weekly at St. Paul’s and this will be their first concert of the season! You won’t want to miss it!
Take a look at the innovative bulletin board that Kathy Heatherly and her sister Carol Farmer recently designed and displayed. It is exceptionally creative!
Come worship with us each Sunday, then join us for the social hour for great fellowship and refreshing snacks!
If you would like to meet with Pastor Rey, please call the church office at 242-3000 to setup an appointment.
Psalm 23 Project:
The Care Craft Group undertook a special project for Pastor Rey, creating Psalm 23 bead chains. Each bead symbolizes a segment of the Psalm, serving as a reminder of God’s presence with us. Pastor Rey will distribute these bead chains during his visits to shut-ins and those unable to attend church.
Recently Installed….
There’s a beautiful, new, stained glass window at St. Paul’s at the north end of the Fellowship Hall. The window is in memory of Esther Harmon and in honor of BJ Harmon, and is in recognition of their many acts of service to St. Paul’s and as a tribute to an enduring and supportive friendship. It is a gift to St. Paul’s from the Johnson and Rayce families, and was beautifully and lovingly created by the talents of John Fedosky with support and consultation from Jeanette.
The Care Craft Group meets every other Thursday at 9:30 AM in Fellowship Hall.
Care Craft Group
The Care Craft Group is a wonderful initiative that brings together people with a passion for crafting and charity. Their bi-weekly gatherings are not just about creating beautiful crafts, but also about fostering a sense of community and kinship. By gifting their handmade items, they spread joy and warmth throughout the community. It's a heartwarming example of how shared interests and generosity can enrich the lives of many. If you're looking to contribute to your community, this group is a delightful opportunity to do both. Projects created to date include: laminated bookmarks, letters included with care packages to those away at school, and paper flowers, Thanksgiving leaves.
Even if you don’t feel you are “crafty”, join us to visit, have coffee/tea and simply enjoy the time together.
Recent Care Crafters initiatives have featured special projects designed to commemorate both Mother's Day and Father's Day.
St. Paul's hosted the Arpeggio Piano Studio's student recital, "Springtime with the Classics," on Saturday, June 7, 2025. Fifteen students, aged 6 to 14, performed piano solos and duets. A festive reception followed the performance in St. Paul's Fellowship Hall. Congratulations to all the students for their outstanding piano playing.
