Amen. | | ANNOUNCING THE CLASS OF 2029 VESTRY SLATE | | |

STAFF UPDATE
After three years of dedicated service to St, Paul's, we are announcing that Wes Powell has transitioned from his role as AV Operations Manager. His final day with St. Paul’s was December 24. Wes has been instrumental in keeping our livestream services and Sunday events running seamlessly. Whether he was behind the soundboard or troubleshooting technical setups, his steady presence ensured that our message reached the congregation clearly — in person and online. While we are sad to see him go, we are incredibly grateful for the technical foundation he helped to build and the kindness he brought to our team. We wish Wes nothing but the very best as he embarks on his future endeavors! Please click here to contact Meegan Kriner with interest in volunteering in livestream roles or to learn more about the future need for an AV Specialist role.
