Prayer and worship are the heart of the Episcopal / Anglican Tradition. Our Book of Common Prayer gives us a history and commonality that describes who we are and permits people of diverse backgrounds and at different places in their faith journey to come together as one people to share prayer and worship.
At Saint Paul, the heart of our prayer and worship is the Sunday Eucharist. This is a special time for us when we come together as one people - as one family, to be nourished in Word and in Sacrament so we are strengthened for our faith journey.
We invite you to come pray with us! We invite you to come celebrate with us! We invite you to come be with us so that together we can build the Kingdom of God.
