St. Paul's has a long history of offering pastoral care to our members through the clergy and caring laypersons.  Our hope is to raise up lay volunteers to be there for our people in their times of need in the name of Christ, from birth through death.

  • Daily hospital visitation
  • More than 30 Stephen Ministers are active in this well-grounded program whereby caregivers offer one-on-one ministry with care receivers who may be going through times of loneliness or illness.
     
  • The Order of St. Luke is made up of nearly 30 men and women who believe in the church's sacrament of healing and who belong to this international order of healers.  Healing, with anointing and prayer, is offered at most of our Eucharist services.
     
  • The Care and Share Committee works to prepare and deliver a meal to a church member or family in time of need.
     
  • St. Paul's Senior Adult Ministry offers support to our older parishioners through visitation, telephone contacts, transportation, health care counseling and opportunities for fellowship and travel.  In addition, altar flowers are regularly taken to the sick and shut-in.
     
  • The Labyrinth in the Chapel is open for walks periodically.
