During our once a month Youth Sunday the
youth take on leadership roles during worship.
Gibson and Sydney celebrate
their first communion on Christmas Eve. Here they minister to the
congregation as ushers.
Worship on the third Sunday of Advent
includes an Advent Pageant. Youth narrate and act out the story. Here is
John the Baptist preaching to all kinds of people.
Christian Education
Sunday School- Sept 10 - June 4 St. Paul's has a Godly
Play curriculum for young children - every Sunday at the 10:00 a.m.
service (except during summer). Teens have a different program
designed by Rev. Stacy Salles. This program has been successful with our
teens. Once month the youth join Rev. Stacy Salles in leading the
worship. For children who stay with their parents, there are bags with
things to keep little hands busy.

Beer and Bible Study
3rd Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. St. Paul's meets at
Thee Office Pub in Romeo
for dinner and bible study. We normally meet every third Thursday of
the month. Hope to see you there!
Bible Study happens every
Wednesday Night at St. Paul's, 7:30 p.m. following the Wednesday
night Agape Service. You do not need to attend the service to be
present for Bible Study.
Cursillo (Faith Renewal)
Cursillo is a movement of the church. Its
purpose is to help those in the church understand their individual
callings to be Christian Leaders. The leadership may be exercised in
work situations, in the family and social life, in leisure activities,
and within the Church environment. Leadership, in Cursillo, does not
mean power over others, but influence on others; all of us need to be
aware that we can exert a positive influence on those around us.
Other Christian Education
During the season of Lent we meet on
Wednesday evenings for a light supper and a program. We have done
various things. In 2008 and 2009 we studied the Gospel according to the
movies "Au Chocolate" and "Prince Caspian. In 2010 we dug into the parallels between Moses and Jesus. We used some
great videos helping us to explore the First and Second (Old and New)
Testament. In Lent of 2011 Richard Hutchinson will leading our Lenten
Program.

Book of Common Prayer.
