A Message from Your Church Family

A Prayer as I put on my mask:
Creator, 
as I prepare to go into the world,
help me to see the sacrament 
in the wearing of this cloth –
let it be “an outward sign 
of an inward grace” – 
a tangible and visible way 
of living love for my neighbours,
as I love myself.

Christ,
since my lips will be covered, 
uncover my heart, 
that people would see my smile 
in the crinkles around my eyes. 
Since my voice may be muffled, 
help me to speak clearly, 
not only with my words, 
but with my actions.

Holy Spirit, 
as the elastic touches my ears,
remind me to listen carefully – 
and full of care – 
to all those I meet. 
May this simple piece of cloth 
be shield and banner, 
and each breath that it holds, 
be filled with your love.

In your Name 
and in that love, 
I pray.

May it be so. 
May it be so.

-- The Right Reverend Richard Bott

In-Person Worship Service 

Picture
In-person worship services have been postponed for now.
  • St. Paul's Leadership Team met on May 12, 2021 and made the decision not to resume in-person worship.
  • This decision will be reviewed at the Leadership Team meeting scheduled for June 9, 2021.
  • It was felt this was the best decision keeping the safety of our church family in mind.
  • When we resume, seating will be limited and attendance for COVID tracking will be required. Worshippers will be asked to register with the office by phone (306-634-2885) or email (stpaulsuc@sasktel.net) before noon of each Friday.
  • Masks are required to be worn during the services.
  • There will be no singing of hymns during the worship service.
  • For more information about the changes in worship, see our September Newsletter.
  • St. Paul's will consider use of our facilities for outside groups if the staff are comfortable with such use and the tenant follows the guidelines of the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and the set of re-opening guidelines established by St. Paul's as found in Appendix A of the minutes of the June 23, 2020 Leadership Team meeting.

The Living Skies Regional Council hopes that communities of faith and individuals will use this prayer cycle as a way to connect with other communities of faith by including them in weekly thoughts and prayers.

Food Bank Sunday

The first Sunday of every month, we collect donations for the Food Bank. Currently the food bank is very low with more families and first time users accessing it due to the down turn in the local economy. Please consider donating to the Food Bank with either groceries or financial donations in between our designated weeks.

Stewardship

Picture

Many of our members contribute to the life and the work of St. Paul's by having a monthly amount automatically withdrawn from their bank account. This program is called PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance).
During this difficult time, when Sunday Worship is not being held and the church is closed, members not enrolled in PAR, may continue with their givings by mail or by simply using online giving offered by the DONATE button above and following the instructions.
​For those members who deal at Affinity Credit Union, St. Paul's is set up as a payee and you can offer your givings directly online.
