Assisting Those In Need

2024  Coldest Night

 https://cnoy.org/location/midland 
Thank you!

To everyone who volunteered in in any way, walked, or made a donation towards the cause, Thank you, 
Special Thanks to Juli Fong-Robitaille, for looking after the refreshments and food with her Penetanguishene Embers group! (the girls worked very hard for their badges!)
After the Walk we had well over 100 people at the church enjoying food and fellowship. 
Raising awareness about homelessness, hunger, and hurt is just as important as raising funds. With your help, we were able to do our part in a very meaningful way, and for this, again, I thank you!

St. Paul’s is looking to stock our own shelves with donations of food items (dry goods)
so our office can hand out food to those who drop by the church for assistance.
If you’re able to help, please bring your donations to the church during office hours or on Sunday

Pause to Reflect

Minister's Musings ~

From Our Minister – Karen Ptolemy-Stam

Reaching out to others and seeking justice is part of our faith response as followers of  Christ. This coming Sunday we will be exploring in the L.I.F.E. (Living in Faith Everyday) sermon and what it means to reach out to some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Carol MacDonald and Cathy Pelletier from Grandmothers to Grandmothers and Zena Pendlebury representing  St. Paul’s partnership with the Guesthouse, our local shelter for those who are unhoused, will explore just two ways in which we can attempt to make a difference in the world. Come join us! Also on Sunday, Apr. 16th we will be sharing in the joy of baptism with two different families. If anyone missed becoming a member last Sunday, this is the last chance to be officially welcomed in a worship service before Karen retires. Please contact Karen directly if you are interested. 

Discovery Kids

Faith Formation is excited to announce that we have expanded to welcome in some volunteer teachers to help teach the Sunday Discovery Kids lessons. All of our teachers have been approved by and welcomed onto our St. Paul’s Faith Formation Committee. Our current group of teachers include Rebecca Amadei, Heather McDonald, Kim Belfry, Kait Byrick and Lynne Angus.

If anyone is interested in learning more about how to become a volunteer teacher, please reach out to Rebecca Amadei. 226 339 8218 rebeccaamadei@gmail.com.

Community Outreach

We aim to serve others as Jesus did. From Midland to around the globe, we turn compassion into action everyday. Join us. 

Territorial Acknowledgment

St. Paul’s United Church recognizes that we are on the traditional and treaty territory of the Anisinabek people, now known as the Chippewa Tri-Council of the Beausoleil First Nation, Rama First Nation and Georgina Island First Nation people and that we seek to be in right relationship with Beausoleil First Nation. We have Inuk people and are the historic homeland of the Metis people. We have had a painful and tragic past; may we together work for a more wonderful, honouring, and dignity-filled future.
