Holding each other's joys, sorrows and concerns before God in prayer is a spiritual practice that characterizes our life together at St. Paul's. In our worship services we pray each other's prayers together. Outside of our time together many parishioners make it part of their daily lives to pray the prayers of the parish community. You are invited to participate in your own way.

Thanks be to God

for the service of the fourteen Youth Group and TUF students who participated in the Habitat for Humanity Rake-a-Thon last Saturday.

for the hospitality of Pat Punch, John Reid, and Lloyd Snook, who prepared our Wednesday night dinner this week.

for developing friendships among parishioners who live at Westminster-Canterbury and the members of The University Fellowship who visited there last Sunday.

for all our blessings this Thanksgiving season, for the fruitfulness of the earth, and for the prosperity of our community and nation.

for the faithful generosity of St. Paul’s parishioners and friends making 2020 pledges, and all who support our life and ministries.
