Recurring Opportunities

  1. Please remember donations for Little Ark Food Pantry - Please bring your donations to the Parish Hall, and place in the black cart (labeled Food Bank); take one small item to the basket in the church. Thank you
  2. Love Thy Neighbor December 17 - Love Thy Neighbor Food Pantry needs your continued support. . For December we are collecting shampoo, conditioner and deodorant.  The program is so grateful for the gifts from the people of St. Paul’s as the patrons who come to the food pantry cannot use their food stamp money to buy hygiene items. Please understand that the need is great and the program resources for hygiene products are meager.
