Spiritual Reflections

Thoughts to carry you through the week

Who knows what will finally happen or where I will be sent, yet already I have given a great many things away, expecting to be told to pack nothing, except the prayers which, with this thirst, I am slowly learning.

Mary Oliver

Ever-loving and nurturing God, who has called everyone into community: Grant that St. Paul's may continue to be a place of welcome, comfort, challenge, and strength. Give us courage and compassion as we grow, and keep us always in relationship with you and with one another. All this we ask through Your Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord.

The Collect for St. Paul's

May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that we may live deep within our hearts.

Franciscan Blessing

Outreach

The Outreach Committee coordinates congregational activities such as regular mission trips and Bread for the World’s annual Offering of Letters. In addition, we participate locally in the Bedford Community Table and Food Pantry, the Diocese’s B-SAFE summer youth program, several knitting ministries (including Project Linus), and other local activities.

Worship & Music

Worship is the centerpiece of our life together in Christ. Our adult choir sings two anthems at every Sunday service. We rehearse at 7:00pm on Thursday evenings and 9:00am on Sunday mornings, before church. The children’s choir sings approximately once a month, on Family Sundays, and rehearses Sundays after church.

Education

At St. Paul’s we believe that we are all continually striving to understand our relationship with God more fully. Children’s education on Sundays uses the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for preschoolers and a Kairos model for elementary ages. High school and middle school youth groups meet monthly. Adult education takes place through study groups and learning forums.

Fellowship

St. Paul’s is a family of God, and as a family, we enjoy being together, sharing our time, our interests, and our faith. We share food and fellowship at weekly and annual events throughout the year. We also provide meals, rides, prayers, and other support for our members in times of need through our Inreach Committee.
