Dear Friend:
At the first Christmas, the angels began by saying, “Do not be afraid.” Even in a world that sometimes feels heavy with fear — fear of violence, fear of division, fear of loss — the miracle of this season declares that joy is greater than fear. God’s love has entered the world as a vulnerable child, and nothing can extinguish that light. St. Paul’s seeks to reflect that love — proclaiming the Gospel, forming disciples of all ages, and serving our neighborhoods and the broader world with compassion and hope.
With our centennial celebration behind us, we are building a future filled with joy — joy in worship, joy in community, joy in seeing God’s power transform lives. We are a beacon in the darkness, helping our neighbors discover that God loves them without exceptions.
Join us this Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus!Christmas Pageant – Sunday, December 21 at 4pm

St. Paul’s relies on gifts like yours. We cannot do this ministry without your generous support — your giving makes a real difference in the lives of countless people, within and far beyond our walls.
I pray that you will give generously when you make your Christmas gift to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. You can make your Christmas gift here. Thank you for helping us continue to share the Good News of great joy — God loves you, and me, and all people without exceptions.
Peace, Noah
The Rev. Noah H. Evans, Rector
