Faith Experiences
Are you searching for spirituality? Do you long for friendships? Do you want your life to make a difference?
God created us out of love for love in relationships and with a purpose.
So let's experience together what it's like to live by faith for sharing blessings.
Fresh Expressions (FX)
for Connections Groups and Faith Activities
Fresh Expressions (FX) is a method and a movement. It's a way for discovering, practicing, and sharing faith for the 21st century. It uses practices of Jesus and the early church to bring people inside and outside the church together for celebration, learning, and service.
At St. Paul's we support creating groups for relationship building, and organizing special events based on the FX principle that it's all about love in community. All are welcome.
Our members are equipped for using their interests for offering activities for everyday faith experiences. Let us know if you would like to share an interest, hobby, or take up something new with others.
The list of current activities listed in our church announcements, posted on Facebook, and on our calendar is in flux but check out some examples.

Faith-Filled Creativity: Praying & Doodling

You are invited to calm your mind and connect to God with a series of faith-filled creativity activities. Do you like to doodle, to color in adult coloring books, need a hobby, need a way to relax, need to focus better, need to socialize, or want to learn something to keep your mind sharp? Do you find it hard to focus when praying? Diane Singler will be offering free classes to learn how to use doodling and pattern making for relaxation and better focus when praying or studying God's word.
