A Message from Your Church Family

We say "We'll get through this" and yet grieve that so many will not.
We say "We're in this together" and yet know the huge chasms in our experience.
We say "We'll build back better" and yet feel the tug into familiar grooves of inequity and excess.
Creator. Be with us.
Console us in our losses.
Shelter us in our hopes and intentions.
Embolden us in our dreams and gestures.
Come alongside us as we yearn, confirm and act towards your holy and beautiful intention of right relations for peoples and our aching wounded earth. Amen
— Jennifer Henry, KAIROS

We are so fortunate to have strong, caring people to lead us in worship while we embark on the task of finding a new minister. Here are our worship leaders:​​​​​​​​​​​​

COVID-19 and St. Paul's International Pastoral Charge

Update - COVID-19 and Church Re-Opening

June 8, 2020
The Leadership Team has met and considered the re-opening of St. Paul's for worship and for tenancy in our building. Considering all information available, two decisions were made:
  • St. Paul's will remain closed to worship services until September. This decision will be reviewed in August.
  • St. Paul's will develop policy/ guidelines around re-opening. These guidelines will align with those of the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and the United Church of Canada.
  • New July 10, 2020 - The above guidelines around can be found in Appendix A of the minutes of the June 23, 2020 Leadership Team meeting.

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.

We have covenanted to be a green church!

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Many of our members contribute to the life and the work of St. Paul's by having a monthly amount automatically withdrawn from their bank account.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.
