We will not be checking temperatures nor vaccination status for any who choose to attend. As always, if you feel at all unwell, have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or have had close contact with someone who has, please refrain from attending in-person until such a time as is medically advisable. People are free to wear masks or not. Our altar ministers will mask while serving communion and may mask at other times in the service.

Should you choose to not yet attend next Sunday or any Sunday in the near future, be assured that the 10:30 a.m. service will continue to be streamed live on our website, Facebook, and YouTube. Be further assured that, wherever you may be, God will be present with all of us, continuing to gather us as the community we have been called to in St. Paul’s.



This Holiday Season at St. Paul's



Advent begins Sunday, December 3, 2023

Advent is the time when the Church year begins again. It starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and continues through the day before Christmas. The name is derived from a Latin word, adventus, which means "coming." The season is a time of preparation and expectation …

Life Events - Sacraments

In the church, we acknowledge that God is present in every occasion of our lives. Some of these we mark together with special celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout the events of our lives.

Music

For centuries, music has played a significant part in Christian worship. The earliest Christians were Jewish people who sang psalms in the Temple, and Jesus and the Apostles sang hymns and psalms together at the Last Supper.

St. Paul, our patron, commands Christians in the New Testament to "sing hymns, psalms and spiritual songs unto God." Music helps us to bring words alive and m…

Our meditation garden offers a serene outdoor contemplative space on the grounds at St. Paul's where one can pray and meditate during the day.

Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross are an ancient form of prayer. They are based on a path of several holy sites (or "stations") of pilgrimage in the city of Jerusalem. Pilgrims would travel through the city, praying along the way while visiting these 14 locations tied to the crucifixion of Jesus on his Via Dolorosa, or his painful path to the cross. The objective of the stations is to he…

    The Rev'd Andrew Cannan

    Rector

    Andrew appreciates the diversity of the journeys that bring people to find a home at St. Paul's. He was baptized a Methodist, majored in religious studies at a Baptist university, married a Presbyterian, received a Master of Divinity as a Devil (the blue, basketball-crazed variety), and was ordained in a congregationalist church prior to finding his way as an Episcopal priest. "I was drawn to this strange Church that accepted the messiness of life and embraced it with grace and dignity. That sounded like a place where I could learn to live with God. That and I was always wanted to dress like Johny Cash.” In their downtime, Andrew and his wife, Ashley, enjoy East Carolina evenings in the backyard with their sons. On days off, he likely won’t be found fishing a remote section of the Eastern Pamlico that he is reluctant to disclose.

      Welcome Life Events/Sacraments Our Leadership The Episcopal Church

      Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, and whatever else it is that you seek in a Church community, it is our sincere hope that you find God’s gracious welcome with us at St. Paul’s. In so many ways, we do not all look alike, think alike, or even act alike here. But in one thing we are certain that we are all the same: God graciously welcomes us all.

      A Word of Welcome Visitor Card Parking What to Expect

      In the Episcopal Church we acknowledge that God is present in every occasion of our lives. Some of these we mark together with special celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout the events of our lives. As Episcopalians, we believe that these observations reveal God's grace to us in new ways.

      Baptism Communion Confirmation Weddings Funerals

      As Episcopalians, we believe that all baptized people are called to minister in the Church. Everyone has a different role. Our clergy serve as the spiritual leaders of our congregation, our staff is responsible for overseeing our program ministries and day-to-day responsibilities, and our vestry is responsible for parish decision-making.

      Meet Our Leadership

      We as Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Paul's is part of the Episcopal Church, a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21st century. We believe that God loves you - no exceptions.

      We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the whole world.

      Our parish's motto is this: "To Know Christ and to Make Him Known."

      Give Online Why Give Annual Commitment

      "Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work."

      - 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

      Give Now

      As Christians, we acknowledge that what God has generously offered us is nothing short of life through Jesus Christ. Participating in that life means learning to generously offer our lives. Each time we gather we are presented with the opportunity to support others in recognition of God’s offerings. This support takes shape in many forms with financial gifts being the backbone that builds our church community and generates opportunities to offer our lives in our parish. All are encouraged to participate in giving money for the ministries of our parish as a sign of our share in God’s work among us and through us.

      Annual commitments pledged to St. Paul’s support our operating budget, which directly supports worship, formation, community and global outreach, building and grounds, staff and other programs. Annual commitments are crucial to the work of St. Paul’s. We strive to maintain a balanced budget each year, with every dollar accounted for and put to good use in the people, places and plans of our parish.
