Praise & Thanksgiving

The creative worship at St. Paul’s sustains and empowers us. It brings us comfort and offers much-needed time for reflection. It gives us strength, courage, and joy as we go out into the world, to serve others in Jesus’ name. St. Paul’s seeks to live into a radical welcome for all people. We strive to serve our youngest members as well as we do our mature parishioners. Our worship is enriched by commemorations of Indigenous Peoples Day, the Rev. Absalom Jones, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Juneteenth, and the Seasons of Creation.

Sunday worship offers the most diverse occasions for praising God together as we celebrate the Holy Eucharist (also called Communion and the Lord’s Supper). All are welcome to participate.

On the First Thursday of each month, a service of Eucharist and healing is offered in the Great Hall at 11 a.m.

Most services are livestreamed or available on Zoom.
