Life at St. Paul’s centers upon the Sunday Eucharist, an appropriate, reverent worship service with meaningful readings, prayers, sermons, and uplifting, inspirational music. The congregation loves to sing. Brass instruments may be added for special services, and the donation of a grand piano from the estate of a faithful member has increased the range of music offered. Additionally, the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Matrimony, Healing, and Burial are very important parts of the life of the church. Special services are also held on holy days throughout the year. Please see the Calendar or the News/Good News Bulletin pages listed on the LaSalle County Episcopal Ministry (LCEM) home page of this website.
People of all ages at St. Paul’s genuinely care for each other and spend time ministering to each other’s needs by praying, listening, visiting, giving rides to church, or helping in other ways. Visitors and new members are always welcome, and any baptized Christian may received Communion.
Both the church and adjacent parish hall are handicapped accessible.
Ministries
Church School
Children at St. Paul’s attend class during the first part of the Sunday service. Lessons are based upon the scheduled Bible readings for the day. The class prays regularly for children and all others at San Andrés Apóstol Episcopal Church and School in El Salvador and in our companion dioceses of Southeast Mexico and Renk, South Sudan. They have exchanged letters and small handmade gifts with children at San Andrés and have also written letters to children in the Diocese of Southeast Mexico. Other recent activities include painting El Salvadoran crosses, making cards for homebound parishioners, participating in the international Letters for Peace project, and collecting money for hurricane, typhoon, and tornado victims.
Community Advocacy
The people of St. Paul’s support various local, national, and international charities, including the Illinois Valley Food Pantry, Episcopal Relief and Development, United Thank Offering, American Cancer Society, Alzheimer’s Association, TELA Women (telawomen.org), and the school and children of San Andrés Apóstol in El Salvador.
