Saint Paul's is a friendly, "family sized" parish with just over forty households on the parish rolls. This is large enough to feel like a real community, but small enough that individuals count. Better still there is always room for a few more in our fellowship, and we love to receive visitors into our midst!
The parish has a strong preaching tradition that is both Bible-based, Christ-centered, which is set within the context of the historic worship tradition of the Anglican Church. Our liturgy is rooted in the glorious language of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible.
The heart of St. Paul's life and witness is worship. We have two services of Holy Communion (also called the Lord's Supper, Eucharist or Mass) on a Sunday and one on most Wednesdays and Holydays. Our regular service times are:
SUNDAY
8.35am Morning Prayer
9.00am Holy Communion - Low Mass
10.30am Holy Communion - Sung Mass
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd - CANDLEMAS
6.35pm Evening Prayer
7.00pm Sung Mass
WEDNESDAYS
9.35am Morning Prayer
10.00am Holy Communion - Low Mass
11.00am Bible Study - currently St Luke
There is a time of coffee and fellowship after both Sunday Communion services, and after the Eucharist on Wednesday mornings.
Confessions are heard 12noon to 12.30pm on the first Saturday of the month, and by appointment.
There is more detailed explanation of our worship and service schedule here.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
On of the parish's key commitments is to Christian Education. Sunday School meets from 10am to 11am every Sunday from Labor Day to Memorial Day. The Childen join their parents after the sermon so that they can share the Eucharist together.
Adult Catechism Classes are run from time to time so you can brush up on your Christian doctrine and learn something about the Anglican tradition. These usually run in Lent, and in the Fall.
Bible Study is at 11.00am on Wednesdays, following the Eucharist, and is conducted by the Rector. A new series of studies on St Luke's Gospel begins November 30th.
