CREW* -
Erik and Kathy Heyboer coordinate a number of activities for the young people. The general idea of CREW is to mix good works with fun. In the past, CREW has helped with the work of the church and participated in fun activates like movie nights, trips and games. This year the CREW is planting a vegetable garden to provide produce to those in need. Watch the bulletin boards for more CREW activities.
Altar Guild -
As is customary in many churches, St. Paul’s has a “behind the scenes” group of women known as the Altar Guild. The Guild provides vital support in preparing for the Mass. This entails both setting up and clearing the altar, preparing linens, laying out the Priest's vestments, ordering supplies and flowers, and setting up the church for special services. All church members are welcome to assist with the bi-annual cleaning of the brass. If you would like to volunteer or are interested in learning more about the Guild, please contact the director, Beth Canter.
St. Martha’s Guild -
St. Martha’s Guild, a service-oriented group, is open to all women of the church at least 16 years of age. Each year the women gather to develop a mission statement. Monthly meetings are held to set, review and discuss activities on how to reach the goals reflecting that mission. Customarily, the Guild reaches out to the community, whether it is through donations, food baskets or providing other support. The guild organizes the annual church craft, bake and yard sale and fund-raising dinners which are open to the public. Other Guild-sponsored activities include a bi-annual Afternoon Tea with a fun auction and a Chili Cook Off against the Men's Club. The Guild meets the fourth Sunday of each month following Mass. Please contact Mary Delaforce for additional information.
Men's Club -
The Men's group focuses on St. Paul's work projects and special events like the pancake breakfast, spaghetti dinner and barbecuing for picnics. The club meets as needed. Contact the Senior or Junior Warden for additional information.
