FIRST SUNDAY FOOD DRIVE: Now through Sunday, May 3, we will be collecting donations for the Salvation Army's Food Pantry. You can drop off non-perishable foods in the tubs outside the Fellowship Hall kitchen door, or make a financial donation directly to the Salvation Army at this link.

VIRTUAL CHURCH: Due to restrictions on in-person gatherings, St. Paul's worship, study & fellowship will take place online until further notice. Get details on how to access virtual video programs, including worship, meditations, and Worship & Wonder here: www.stpauls.net/virtual. More details on each service follow. 

GIVE ONLINE: While we are not meeting in person, we invite you to keep giving to St. Paul's so that we can continue to do the work of the church in these uncertain times. Your generosity equips the church to care for the most vulnerable in our communities, while continuing to pay the salaries of our staff. Online giving is easy; click here to begin.

NEW SERMON SERIES - "NOW WHAT?": Jesus is risen...now what? After the death and resurrection of Jesus, his disciples had to figure out how to carry on with the teachings and ministry with which they had been entrusted. Everything had changed, and there was no road map for what they were now called to do. During this post-Easter season, as we adapt to the altered circumstances in which we find ourselves, how is Jesus calling us to respond? In the coming weeks, we will seek wisdom on how to engage our faith, our relationships, our work and our community in a changed world. 

ZOOM LINKS: Due to security/privacy concerns, we will be sharing all Zoom Meeting ID's in our midweek email rather than on the website.
