Worship at St. Paul’s

We are a Reconciling in Christ church that affirms all people as beloved children of God, created in God’s rich diversity of race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, social and economic circumstances, and abilities.

We gather for worship at 9:30am each Sunday, in-person and online via our YouTube channel.

We welcome all to God’s table for Holy Communion and offer blessings for those opting not to commune.

We also offer a monthly God Wauk worship service with Holy Communion, during a hike through an area forest preserve. God Wauk worship is held on the fourth Saturday of each month, March to November, weather permitting. Check out our calendar on the Happenings page for the location, or subscribe to The Epistle, our weekly e-mail newsletter, for current updates.

  • This group of dedicated volunteers provide setup for worship services by preparing for Communion, hanging the vestments, and decorating the church for special occasions. The group meets once a month after worship on Sunday.

  • Ushers greet members and guests, hand out bulletins, and usher the congregation towards the altar for Communion. Commitment is about once a month and training is quick and easy! Contact the church office or speak with Adrianne to sign up.

  • Lend your voice to our services by assisting the pastor in leading worship. Worship Assistants read the assigned portions of the service, and may sing the Kyrie if willing and able. They also help serve Holy Communion. Speak with Pastor Mark to receive instruction and be added into the rotation.

  • Join our Sanctuary Choir and/or the Pealers Handbell Choir! All abilities are welcome. Click on “Music” under “Life Together” for more info. In the summer we welcome soloists or small groups to share their talents at worship. Contact Ellen Montgomery.
