The Yearly Sunday School Yard Sale Held at McCarson’s House. On a Saturday in June the church held its annual yard sale to benefit St. Paul’s Sunday School at Ray and Edie’s house located on Jessup Road. We’d all pray for good weather and except for a time or two of light sprinkles, the weather…
Let’s start the St. Paul’s Food Pantry May update with a few spectacular statistics from 2023: Throughout the year, TWELVE VOLUNTEERS represented the ministry of St. Paul’s in our community outreach. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of local organizations, our congregation and a generous farmer in the community, we gave out TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS in…
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise.” Ephesians 5:15 I found this historical picture to prove that people were “online” before the current generation’s addiction to being online occurred. Truthfully, people are online more than ever. I even heard a news story today where an NHL hockey coach said he…

Thanks to everyone at St. Paul’s for making our Spring Chicken BBQ a sellout! You all stepped up when needed and we sold all the tickets.

The Sunday School Easter Egg Hunt took…

We had an average attendance of 22 women at each study. We read our chapter at home each week and then held an open discussion about what we had read. We…
When our son, Brandon, was two years old, Denise Hosier invited us to attend her church. She knew we were unchurched at the time and thought St. Paul’s would be the perfect place for us. We decided to give it a try, and now, 35 years later we still call St. Paul’s home. When Brandon…
A Job Well Done A few months ago, the community relations team started an outreach program to help the children of the West Deptford schools who are unable to pay their lunch bills. People who wanted to help, had to count the coats and sweaters and jackets in their closet. They gave one dollar for…
