Precautions Due to the Coronavirus

     We are taking a number of precautions here at St. Paul's United Church of Christ in response to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus), while simultaneously still seeking to provide meaningful, appropriate, and important spiritual support, especially in such times when there is fear, anxiety, and illness.  We thank you for your understanding, patience, support, and prayer as we seek to discern how best to be in ministry in this moment of time.

     Currently, Sunday morning worship is hybrid: Live Stream (on St. Paul's UCC YouTube Channel), Phone Stream at 1-888-649-5770, Facebook Live, and in-person following the below guidelines.
