News from the President (October 2025)


“We reach our neighbors for the kingdom of God in Christ through visibility, availability , and service.”


Rummage Sale Report

The rummage sale was a success! We had a combination of St. Paul’s congregants as well as some community members sign up to sell items. We had many others call and ask if we are going to host more rummage sales in the future. Thanks to Lysa Twardosz and Nancy Shinn from the Tahoe Park Neighborhood Association (TPNA)! They set up a table to give information about neighborhood events and to demonstrate their support for St. Paul’s. The TPNA is adding our event flyers to their website to help us get the word out about St. Paul’s

Church Events.


Diaper Distribution

We will resume the diaper distribution program on Saturday, October 25th from 9-11 AM. There are some changes in the diaper sizes we will be able to offer. With the reduced funding we will no longer receive ANY pull-ups. We are approved to receive diapers from size 3 through 7. While this is disappointing, we are happy to be able to continue with the program. Thanks again to our dedicated volunteers: Chuck Prewett, Sarah Doherty, Erik Bjerke, Duane Goff, and Pastor Townsend!
