Spring Cleanup
It is amazing to see Spring springing up all around us!
As this season begins, we invite you and your family to help clean up the grounds of the St. Paul's building during the month of April. Please take a look at this signup list and take a job or two to help prepare our church grounds for the warmer months!
Sign up to help here!
- new men’s and women’s underwear and white socks
- rain ponchos
- blankets, twin size or larger (not “throws”)
- reusable bags of all kinds including backpacks, duffels, and shopping bags (the kind with logos that you might get free at events are fine)
The Walk-In at Trinity, open one week out of four in rotation with three other downtown churches, provides food and some other necessities to folks in need in the downtown area. Many of these individuals find themselves relying on shelters or living in camps. St. Paul’s, along with other churches in our Diocese, helps support the Walk-In with donations from Outreach funds as well as in-kind donations of non-food items as needs arise. THANK YOU, as always, for your generosity in helping to serve those in need right here in our Pittsburgh community.
