Outreach

St. Paul's has a strong history of Mission and Outreach. Although we may not be a mega-church we are mega-mission minded for we know that we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. We invite you to be a part of our Outreach Ministries!

Reaching Out

Stop in the Narthex to see how you can get involved helping St. Paul’s Mission and Outreach.

NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE

We have a food pantry to which you donate food. Here are a few staples we could use in the food pantry:

Tissues
Cereal
Pasta - any type (We are almost out)
Mac'n Cheese
Toothpaste
Bath Soap/Body Wash

As always, we are thrilled with any donations you provide for our food-insecure individuals and families. Donations can be left inside the Church. Be Blessed, Marilyn Hendershot, Family Services Specialist, Neighborhood House, Inc.

DEEP ROOTS MISSION

Nadine Johnson & Karen Ellis continue to work with the “Deep Roots” mission. This group works with families who are disconnected through homelessness and provides transitional shelter and other services to families in need. They need your help as they continue to contact members of the church to help with making meals once a month feeding approximately 50+ individuals. Here’s hoping you will be able to help us with this very important and necessary mission. Thanks so much!

WAWA FOOD PICKUP SERVANTS NEEDED (On-Hold)

We need servants to pick up food at the WAWA on 299 every other week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:45 AM. It takes about an hour to pick it up and then bring to church and bag it. Please contact Dawn Buckworth if you can help at dawn.buckworth@verizon.net

VISITATION TEAMS
Sometimes it is the face-to-face encounter with folks of the community of faith that remind us of the importance of connection. We are in need of folks for visitation, not just for homebound or hospitalized, but for general outreach. Spending time with our sisters and brothers, praying with them, sharing the events of congregational life and administering the Sacraments, changes us as well as offering the Spiritual sustenance for those who cannot get to worship. We already have faithful teams who offer the Eucharist, but we also need teams to visit our congregation on a rotating basis. If you would like to be part of this important ministry opportunity, please contact the office at stpodessa@stpaulsodessa.org.
