CELEBRATING SUCCESSES

Over the past two weeks, St. Paul’s has been full of energy, laughter, creativity, and community!

BUILDING COMMUNITY :: ALL-PARISH DINNER RECAP

Last week, we wrapped up our final all-parish dinner until fall with a wonderful evening of fellowship, delicious food, and meaningful connection (thank you again to dinner patron Bill Alexy and chefs Fred Duncan and Jacob Denning!). While parish dinners pause for the summer, we’re looking forward to new opportunities for fellowship in the months ahead.

SHARING CHRIST'S LOVE :: ST. PAUL'S DAY CAMP

Our campus has been buzzing this week during St. Paul’s Day Camp, where more than 50 children have spent the week building friendships, making tie-dyes, gardening, playing sports, doing yoga, cooking, singing, and more. We’re grateful for the volunteers, staff, and families who have made it such a vibrant week of sharing Christ’s love and creating community.

CELEBRATING OUR OWN

Congratulations to St. Paul’s parishioner Rose Scovel (pictured here, qualifying at the Multisport Festival race in South Haven, MI last week). This qualification earned Rose a spot on Team USA at the World Multisport Championships in Edmonton, Canada. She will compete there with Team USA in the standard duathlon (10K run, 40K bike, 5K run) in 2027 (date to be determined). We'll keep everyone posted so we can cheer her on together. Way to go, Rose!

FY2027 STEWARDSHIP

DRAWN TOGETHER IN MISSION

With just over 30 days remaining in FY2026, we give thanks for the generosity that continues to sustain and strengthen the mission of St. Paul's Indy. To date, we've received $617,243 toward our $950,000 annual goal — we're grateful to the 165 households that have contributed towards this meaningful reflection of our commitment to sharing Christ’s love, creating community, and striving for justice. Looking ahead to the coming program year, now is an important time for those who have not yet submitted a FY2027 pledge to prayerfully consider doing so. Every pledge, of every size, helps provide a foundation for worship, outreach, pastoral care, music, formation, hospitality, and more, in the coming year. Help us continue to build a church where all are invited to belong, grow, and serve. Click below or text FY2027 to 97000 to make your pledge today.

SUMMER SCHEDULE UNDERWAY :: THIS SUNDAY & MORE

SUMMER WORSHIP

Sunday worship occurs at 8:30 and 10 a.m. and livestream occurs at 10 a.m. There will be no Sunday School or adult programming through September 6. Both will resume, and we'll return to three Sunday worship services, on September 13.

ST. PAUL’S GARDEN BLESSING

Sunday, May 31, following the 10 a.m. service, St. Paul’s Garden (west of the Parish Ctr., along Meridian St W Dr)

Following the dismissal of the 10 a.m. service, plan to process to St. Paul’s garden for a special blessing. We’ll give thanks for the hands that tend the soil, the gifts God provides, and the harvest that nourishes others in our community. All are invited to take part!

PASTA DRIVE STARTS SUNDAY

Sunday, May 31-June 14, Burrows Commons

Second Helpings addresses hunger and poverty in Central Indiana by rescuing surplus food and transforming it into more than 5,500 nutritious meals daily for over 200 social service agencies serving Hoosiers in need. Last year, St. Paul's parishioners donated more than 100 pounds of pasta to Second Helpings and we'd like to surpass that milestone during this year's pasta drive! Please look for collection boxes in Burrows Commons starting Sunday, and help fill them with boxes of dry pasta, especially spaghetti and elbow macaroni. Your generosity makes a difference!

SUMMER FELLOWSHIP

We're looking forward to gathering on five Sundays this summer for fellowship between services — a time to connect, welcome newcomers, and enjoy community together. To make these gatherings possible, we need a few helping hands each week for four simple roles: bringing light snacks, helping with setup, assisting during fellowship time, and helping with cleanup. We especially need volunteers on July 26 and August 9, but could use a few hands for setup and cleanup on June 21. Even one Sunday of volunteering makes a meaningful difference.
