'Acting with Love' | A ripple effect!

It’s all about generosity and faithfulness

Acting with Love for the World is a capital campaign of generosity and faithfulness to:

  • Pay for our house
  • Partner with our schools
Ripple effect!

When a small pebble drops into a vast serene river, it causes a ripple in the water, traveling outward in every direction, even disturbing distant still waters.

That’s a matter of physics.

When my single act of kindness and generosity is joined with your generous kindnesses — and many others’ similar acts — together we gradually spread outward. We cause a ripple effect.

That’s a matter of love.

Your pledge

St. Paul people: Please prayerfully consider a pledge to tackle the building debt and be part of launching an amazing new school partnership.

Tackle the building debt

We are living in a magnificent sanctuary. From the start, we planned for a bold vision, an ambitious project, and some indebtedness.

Now we must give. Resourceful extra-mile giving is now needed to reduce the $3M building debt and help free our congregation for a more expansive mission.

Step up for local kids

With this campaign, we are launching an unprecedented commitment to kids in our church neighborhood.

Neighborhood schools coodinator, Margaret Haas, takes the lead for St. Paul as we craft a lasting partnership with the two schools closest to the church: Madison Elementary and J.B. Young Intermediate Schools.

"What we call doubt is often simply dullness of mind and spirit, not the absence of faith at all but faith latent in the lives we are not quite living, God dormant in the world to which we are not quite giving our best selves." ~Christian Wiman
