Our  Service is at 10:30 AM. and on the first Sunday of each month it is a Service of the Word and Sacrament (Holy Communion) on other Sundays it is a Service of the Word only.

The children stay in the service until after the "Children's Message" at which time they leave for "church school." We offer a Confirmation Class for our teen age youngsters. Child Care is provided for the very youngest.

St. Paul's is completely Handicapped Accessible and we have assistance for the hearing impaired. The Congregation is urged to take as much part in the service as they feel comfortable.

Following the  service we hold a coffee/fellowship hour for folks to better acquaint themselves.
