Advent Giving Tree

Stylized Christmas tree with green leaves and red balls.The Advent Giving Tree has a virtual option again this year! 

This year our Advent Giving Tree will support medical help for Ukraine. Items will be purchased and shipped by Ukraine Forward, an initiative of the Ukrainian-American Education Center, a registered 501c(3) nonprofit, located in Jamaica Plain, MA.

The requested giving levels reflect the cost of medical supplies to help soldiers and civilians who have been injured in the fighting, as well as equipment used by medical professionals in hospitals and clinics, and on the front lines, including bandages, IV catheters, surgical equipment, medications, and backup power chargers. 

When you visit St. Paul’s this Advent, please take a tag from our Giving Tree and return it with your check or cash by Christmas Day. You can also make your contribution online using the PayPal button below.

When you click the “Donate” button below, you’ll be redirected to a PayPal page with a list of specific items at various giving levels. Please choose an item from the drop-down menu, and type in the giving level that corresponds to your choice. Then input your payment information to complete your donation.



You may also donate from the main PayPal button on our Donate page, without specifying a recipient.

If you prefer to participate in the Advent Giving Tree this year by writing a check, you may send it to St. Paul’s Church, 100 Pine Hill Road, Bedford MA 01730. Please indicate “Giving Tree” and which ministry you’d like to support on the memo line.

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 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.
