We will have three categories for you to enter and compete for great prizes. Will your recipe be the best in the beef category, chicken category, or the vegetable category? To enter, contact Todd Shafer.

Please note a change for this ministry  in 2017. Because this is an extremely gratifying experience, the Soup Kitchen has more servers than they need. Therefore, the Saint Paul's team will prepare lunch only, to give other groups an opportunity to serve. Since persons under age 18 are not allowed to work in the kitchen, this opportunity will now be limited to adults only.  Contact Marilyn Grau for more information or to volunteer.

Mardi Gras makes a difference! Proceeds from Mardi Gras enable Saint Paul's to fund our Manna Pantry. Last year Manna Pantry purchased and distributed 900 boxes of pantry staples to families in need. Just this past Manna Pantry on January 28th we supplied food for 168 boxes!! The need in our community continues to be a dire one. 

So come join the Mardi Gras fun and support our Saint Paul's Outreach ministries. 

You will enjoy fine New Orleans cuisine including jambalaya, gumbo, creole pasta (vegetarian), salad & corn bread. On the dessert table there will be sweet potato bread pudding, bananas foster, and of course King Cake !! Listen to the live music of  Swingsation, a 16-piece band. Dance the night away to classics like I Left my Heart in San Francisco or party music like YMCA. So come hungry and ready to boogie. See you February 25 in the River Room. 


Tickets ($50) available Sunday after the 11 AM service, in the parish office and online.
