Want to connect? Saint Pauls Connectors keep in touch with members and friends of the church. They become the "tie that binds our hearts in Christian love." Below are some examples of their work:
- cards, calls, and connections for the home bound
- goody boxes for college students in the fall
- Easter baskets for seniors and the home bound
- meals during times of illness or family emergency
Connectors meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month. All are welcome. You don't need to attend meetings to help the Connectors keep connections going at Saint Pauls.
