Thrift Sale

 

Please note: due to the COVID-19 crisis, the 2020 Thrift Sale will not be held in June. We are hopeful we can have the fair later in the summer; stay tuned.

Our annual parish Thrift Sale sale features gently used clothing, household goods, white elephant objects, toys (in good shape), books, CD’s, DVDs, and more. Clothing is sold by the bag.

The Thrift Sale is a wonderful example of stewardship in the broadest sense of the word: it’s a fun way for parishioners to collectively recycle what God has given us, while providing goods and clothing at reasonable prices to those who can benefit from them. All unsold items are donated to local charities.

If you have gently used items to donate, the church accepts donations on the following schedule, the week before the sale:

  • Sunday: 12:00 to 2:30pm
  • Monday: 6:00 to 8:00pm
  • Tuesday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 8:00pm
  • Wednesday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 8:00pm
  • Thursday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 9:00pm
  • Friday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 4:00pm to 9:00pm

Please note that we cannot accept stuffed animals, VHS tapes, large furniture, large rugs, stained or ripped clothing, or board games and puzzles that are missing pieces.

For more information about the Thrift Sale, please contact the parish office at 781-275-8262, or visit us online at www.stpaulsbedford.org.

 

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.
