What is Fasting?
Lent invites us into something deeper than a season. It is a whole-body response to life's serious & sacred moments.
At the heart of fasting is making space. As we lay down distractions, habits, or comforts that shape our desires, we create room to return to God with clarity and intention.
Lent is not about restriction for its own sake, but about renewal - a quiet re-centering on what is real, lasting, and life-giving. And above all, God's outcome to control.

Join our Slow Saturday: a time of fasting and prayer on March 21, 10-1 pm at St. Paul's.

This restorative time apart will be led by one of our Ministry Apprentice’s, Jeff Phail.

Part of our Rhythm of Life is Prayer and Study, and we want to equip you to engage with the most transformative book in the world – the Bible!
You might be new to faith and have never read the Bible before, or a long-time follower of Jesus who has lots of questions.

| Discover the MAP Program at St. Paul’s | |
At St. Paul’s, we believe leadership is formed, not assumed.
Our Ministry Apprentice Program (MAP) creates space for emerging leaders to be mentored, trained, and stretched in real ministry contexts. It’s one of the ways we invest in the future of the Church - and the renewal of our city. We are so grateful for the faithful donors at St. Paul’s who have made MAP possible.

Thank you!
