St. Paul's News, Events, Achievements

Welcome To Foyer Groups. May you have a fun time, make new friends, and may God be in your midst.

Foyer groups are a small groups of 8-10 adults sharing simple meals and fellowship. The intention is to have fun and have an opportunity to meet each other and to become better acquainted. Each group, which is picked at random, meet once a month for a simple meal and relaxed conversation in the homes of members. The gatherings last about two hours and rotate between participants.

Each month, two of the members host a gathering. Foyer Groups are not a study or prayer group; they have no agenda other than spending time with one another, which is important fot the building of Christian community in our parish.

In April, there will be an opportunity for parishioners to sign up for the second round of foyer groups, with new groups startng in May as well.

For more information, please call the church office at 732-4821.

Everyone enjoys coffee, sweets and fellowship, but it takes volunteers to provide the details. A BIG THANK YOU is due to everyone who has responded to the call for help!

Be sure to stop in after either service to enjoy good fellowship and good coffee & sweets.

Special Events

CROPWalk

It’s no secret that there are many people in Tulare County and beyond who need help getting food for themselves and their families. With this in mind, St. Paul’s is once again sponsoring the CROP Walk that is held in Visalia each year.

The walk will be on Saturday, March 13,
beginning at 8:30 AM.

The walk begins and ends at St. Paul’s, and the clergy and parishioners from the parish have always helped with the event, both as organizers and as walkers.

For more information please call the church at 732-4821

Special Group Activites

Grief Recovery Group
St. Paul's Grief Recovery Group will be meeting at Kashy's home on Tuesday, October 27th. The group is open to anyone who has suffered a loss of a loved one through death or divorce, or has experienced the loss of job, a broken relationship, losing a pet or any other loss. It is a time of sharing and caring about each other and trusting God to carry us through these difficult times in our lives.

God does not promise to protect us from painful circumstances, but He does promise something even better. He promises that those painful circumstances cannot separate us from Him.

If you are interested in this group, please contact Betty Peters or Kashy Rowland-Smith.
