St. Paul’s is dedicated to giving our time, talents, and resources to each other and the neighbors God has given us.
Waukegan to College Gala
Please mark your calendars FOR OCTOBER 5!
Please join us for our 1000 Dreams Gala on October 5, 2025 when we will celebrate our first-generation success. This year we celebrated our 113th college graduate. We are currently serving over 300 students, and our goal is to be serving 1000 students by 2030.
The event will take place at Glen Flora Country Club from 2:00 - 5:00 pm. St. Paul's is once again contributing a $5,000 sponsorship. Tickets are $125.00 through Sept. 1st when they will increase to $150.00.
Auction items, wine for the wine pull, and sponsorships would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Karen Papp if you have any questions regarding ticket sales or auction items. Thank you for your continued support of Waukegan to College!
Meals for Roberti House
Each Wednesday morning we prepare meals for the people who visit Roberti Community House in Waukegan. We are always looking for more helping hands. Check the calendar on Happenings for the meal prep times or contact the church office for more information.
Give Online
All donations are tax deductible.
Clothes to You
Clothes to You has a monthly giveaway every first Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 11:00am. (except for January & February)
The volunteers deeply appreciate the many donations recently received for the monthly Clothes to You giveaways. We have had so many donations we are literally bursting at the seams!
Because our space is so limited, we can only accept clothes and shoes. We are unable to take other items such as toys, linens and blankets. We simply do not have the room! We will begin accepting donations of winter clothing items after our August giveaway. We will also be having a coat giveaway in October.
We are always in need of men's jeans. Jeans are in high demand and those items are few and far between.
Thank you again for keeping this ministry well stocked!
Donations can be dropped off at the church before or after worship or by calling the church office to arrange a time to drop-off your donations.
We need volunteers! Please contact the church office or come to the next sorting day, as listed on the calendar (click on the Happenings tab).
GLOBAL FAITH IN ACTION
ELCA World Hunger - The ELCA believes that the universal human right is food. This program works to connect people with the resources to food, clean water, education, healthcare, and income for sustainable change.
Lutheran World Relief - As you can see Lutherans find nourishment important. LHR seeks to break the cycle of poverty by providing aide after disasters, partner with carious communities to build strong economies, and help to ensure families can thrive.
Global Missions - ELCA missionaries have helped establish growing churches throughout the world. As a result, we are now part of a much larger story — a global community of more than 70 million Lutherans in 79 countries. In this dynamic church, we walk with our sisters and brothers in Christ to share God’s love far and wide
World Vision - They partner with children, families, and their communities to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
