Welcome to St. Paul’s United Church

We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us today.

We offer two Sunday morning worship services to which you are invited.

In both services, you will hear the same message but the style of worship will

be very different as we praise our God.

Our 9 a.m. casual service will feature singing led by our Praise team of singers,

guitars, electronic keyboard and drums.

Refreshments are available before worship begins.

Our offering boxes are at the back of the Sanctuary on the south wall.

At our 10:30 a.m. traditional service, we offer our choir and pipe organ music

with hymns and liturgy.
