    While we can't gather in person for our breakfast, story time, crafts, and egg hunt, we are working to bring many elements of this experience to families virtually! Our celebration will include a variety of materials and video clips featuring some familiar faces and families from St. Paul's. These will be made available on our website - look for more info at stpaulsk.org/community/children from Saturday 4/11 through Sunday 4/19.

  • A Special Note During COVID-19

    The St. Paul's UMC church building is closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 public health crisis. Worshiping apart at Easter time, when we are used to celebrating together in great numbers, may challenge us mentally and emotionally in new ways. Pastoral counseling and care is available to all, for any reason, by phone, email, video conference, or text. Email Pastor Pat Allen (pallen [at] stpaulsk.org) or Pastor Kate Mackereth Fulton (kfulton [at] stpaulsk.org) to get started. 

Easter Offerings

God has blessed the ministries of this church and has allowed us a vision that looks far beyond our own walls to see people and places in need. At their last meeting, our Church Council decided to set aside all of this year’s special Easter Offering to support two projects: 

  • The Hunger Ministry at St. Paul's, feeding over 100 families in the 20895 ZIP code area who face food insecurity with a monthly food distribution and grocery assistance.
  • UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee On Relief that responds in times of crisis to feed, shelter, clothe, and restore communities struck by disaster in the U.S. and around the globe. 

To give to these worthy projects online, click here to visit our secure Giving page to make a one-time Easter Special Offering donation. Members and friends may use the Easter Offering envelope mailed to members' homes. Checks may be made payable to St. Paul’s UMC with the words “Easter Offering” on the memo line.


All other offerings or donations toward your 2020 yearly giving or pledge should be made using an envelope other than the Easter Offering envelope. Thank you!
