This Month’s Ministry Focus
During the month of January St. Paul’s is lifting up the Spirit of Love with our Teddy Bear Ministry. The furry person sitting next to you in pew has been consecrated and blessed into God’s service as an Ambassador of God’s Love ready to travel to anyone who is ill, lonely, grieving or in need of a “bear hug”. Teddy is ready to go along with you so he can be delivered to someone in need of God’s comforting presence.
Spirit of Love: For the month of December
During the month of December St. Paul’s lifted up the Spirit of Love made visible to us in the birth of the Christ child, Jesus our Lord. As we rushed about in making our preparations, we recalled the words of St Paul “Love is patient and kind…” (1 Cor 13:4) Did those you met see God in you?
