GET INVOLVED
Come meet our church family and enjoy some time with us. There are many ways to lend a hand, and we truly appreciate each and every effort.
ADULT BIBLE STUDY
We meet at 8 am on Sunday mornings from September through May in the Adult Sunday School Room. We read passages together, as Pastor Andy leads in depth study with questions to consider, coffee and lots of good conversation. This is a safe place to learn and share with others wanting to enrich their understanding of the Bible. This is open to all regardless of expertise with God's word.
SHARE YOUR VOICE AND TALENTS!
We are blessed with talented musicians and vocalists. Our choirs perform 2 cantatas each year, in addition to singing for Sunday morning worship and other services.
We are always on the lookout for more talent.
Children and groups from the Sunday school classes often provide special music for Sunday worship services and special events.
HAND BELL CHOIR
St. Paul Hand Bell Choir and ensemble groups provide music during worship on the 4th Sunday of most months and present a December Christmas concert. It is also a major participant of the annual ‘Sounds of Starkenburg’ concert, ringing in the Christmas season at the Shrine Museum at Starkenburg on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Formed in February, 2005 with just 13 ringers and a three octave set of Schulmerich hand bells, we have added ringers and instruments since then. Join us!
​
GREETERS AND USHERS
Please let us know if you're visiting. We have gift bags with information about St. Paul UCC, pens and notepads for you. If you need a mask or hand sanitizer,
we've got you covered. We'll be happy to answer any questions you might have and welcome you to our fellowship and worship.
​
WOMENS FELLOWSHIP
Our purpose is to unite in Christian fellowship, to deepen spiritual life and to promote service to the church, community and world. We serve funeral luncheons and meals for other church functions. An annual rummage sale helps fund the church current fund, the food pantry, school back pack program, Community Christmas program and the wider mission of the church. Monthly meetings feature interesting guests. For more information, please call the church office.
​
​
MENS FELLOWSHIP
The men meet for breakfast and fellowship on designated Saturday mornings.
A 3 in 1 program allows young couples some free time while the men and their significant others babysit the children – a great time. After children are picked up, the sitters go out to dinner and have some fun. For information on the 3 in 1 program, contact Bob Kirchhofer at 573.486.2943 or the church office.
They also do some handyman projects for folks who may need some winterization, a ramp or minor home repair. If you have needs or know someone who does, please contact the church office so they can help.
​
​
The children enjoy a refreshing snack, art, yoga, music and craft lessons. Each child has one on one time with a mentor, who helps with homework or special needs. More information can be found under Mission.
AFTER SCHOOL BEARCATS
HELP WITH SUNDAY SCHOOL
We welcome new helping hands and voices with our youth. The first Sunday of the month all classes meet together for worship and special activities the first half of the hour.
YOUTH PARTICIPATION
Our youth assist with worship music, reading scriptures, greeting and ushering.
THEÂ NIMBLE THIMBLES
This community quilting and service group meets monthly to share quilting experience, inspiration and give workshops. They donate quilts to Linus Quilts – children in hospitals, Quilts of Valor, local disasters, nursing homes (lap quilts/pillowcases), and provide quilts to local kids in need at Christmas. There are many talented and generous quilters, including some St. Paul members. They welcome all who are interested.
SCOUTS
Several scout groups meet weekly at St. Paul and hold special events here.  We are pleased to avail space for their activities.
