IN-PERSON & ONLINE WORSHIP SERVICES
We rejoice that In-Person Worship Services in the St. Paul Sanctuary have resumed!
In-person worship has resumed:
- Please join us Sunday mornings for worship at 10:00AM, arriving early to allow time for ushers to seat everyone using distancing protocols and following the rules/guidelines for re-opening worship.
- Sunday School for adults and for youth in Grade 6 & up takes place Sunday mornings at 8:45AM. Adult study is in the Sanctuary and youth meet at a location near the church. Coffee/fellowship time is temporarily suspended due to physical distancing. Please contact the church for details.
- If you wish to join us for online Bible study please contact our church secretary in advance for information.
During this time, we understand that not all will be comfortable or able to return to in-person worship.
- For those unable to join us in person, we encourage you to continue to participate in online worship services, Bible studies and prayer.
- We plan to video-record the live services at St. Paul and post them to our Online Services page later in the day each Sunday.
In addition, we recommend a few other resources for online worship, available at a variety of times. (Please be sure to note the time zone of the service you are following.)

Thanksgiving Day – (Thanksgiving is not part of the Church Year but rather a day of national thanksgiving established by the United States. Historically God’s people have set aside days of thanks to remember God’s blessings and offer Him thanks. We gather on Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday of November) to reflect on the many blessing to mind, body, soul, and country which God has bestowed on us and give Him thanks.)
