She has served both as a school chaplain and a parish priest. She now spends much of her time in the woods, volunteering for Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Kenwood.

NEW Name Tags
The name tags have been updated to a magnetic fastening style which is easier to use! Wearing our name tags is a great welcome aid to newcomers. If you can’t find your name tag, call the church office 707.433.2107 or sign up on the clip board and we will get one made for you!

Welcome Table
At the back counter, there are lots of informative pamphlets giving newcomers a chance to learn about all we offer at St. Paul’s.  It’s even great for regulars to get reacquainted with all St. Paul’s ministries!

Ministry of the Month: Coffee Hour

What: Coffee Hour brings us together following the 10:00 Sunday service. This well-loved tradition creates space for fellowship, conversation, and welcoming new and familiar faces alike. Sharing simple refreshments gives us the opportunity to slow down, connect, and build community.

How you can serve:  Bring, set up, and clean up light refreshments before the 10:00 service ends. It doesn’t need to be fancy or homemade; simple is perfect! Something sweet and something savory are always appreciated. Store-bought cookies, cheese and crackers, fruit, or pastries make a wonderful Coffee Hour. Hosts are also asked to check ahead of time to make sure basics like half-and-half, paper plates, and napkins are available (or bring them if needed). Reimbursement forms for expenses are available in the church office.

Time Commitment: Sign up once a year, once a quarter, or however often works for you! All of August & September are available! The signup sheet can be found hanging in the kitchen or on the Coffee Hour table. Want to host but would rather not do it alone? Let the office know and we’ll help pair you with a partner.

Who: Everyone can do Coffee Hour! Whether you’re a top chef or simply skilled at opening packages, there’s a place for you. This ministry is less about what you bring and more about creating a welcoming space where people can gather,connect, and feel at home.

Contact: For more information, contact the church office at (707) 433-2107 or online here.
