St. Paul's Mission

St. Paul’s United is a prairie-rooted, people church, centered on Holy Mystery. We experience the gift of grace – forgiveness, new life, God’s unconditional love –  as we open our doors and hearts to people of all ages, stages and walks of life. We live as a community of faith carried on the winds of God’s Spirit.

Continuing Worship during COVID-19

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

Prayer Cycle
​2021

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.

In-Person Worship Service 

Picture
In-person worship services have been postponed.
  • St. Paul's Leadership Team met on January 13, 2021 and made the decision not to resume in-person worship.
  • The Leadership Team will review this decision at their regular meeting scheduled for February 10, 2021.
  • It was felt this was the best decision keeping the safety of our congregational 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.

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.
