On Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 11:00 am, we gather at St. Paul’s Church for the observance of All Saints. This occasion provides us with a moment in which we light candles for those who have been called home to be with the Lord in the year gone by. It provides all of us with the opportunity to reflect upon our personal journeys of grief. Once again family members will be invited to come forward to light candles in memory of their loved ones.

Friendship Sunday at St. Paul’s

Please join us at St. Paul’s Church for an informal, 5th Sunday service focusing upon friendship and music.
Family, friends and community members are invited to attend an informal service and a lunch with treats served in our hall downstairs.
This annual tradition has proven valuable over the years as it allows anyone and everyone to see how St. Paul’s provides comradery, wonderful music, and support for its members.
Please share this invitation via email and word of mouth.
An rsvp to council so that we can be prepared for the appropriate number of guests would be appreciated, but not mandatory.
Come for the fun!
