Senior adults

People who are older, younger, and in between give shape and texture to the rich diversity of our St. Paul faith community.

Senior friendship

Our Senior Action Office matches the gifts of St. Paul volunteers with the needs of older adult members. Contact Mary Gordon, 355-8676

Home communion

Illness or age sidelines many of our members from worship. In-Home Communion wraps them warmly into congregational life. Carrying along special communion kits, volunteers visit our homebound members in care facilities and private homes on the first Sundays of February, May, August, and November.

Contact Nancy Heuvelman, 359-6081.

Radio outreach

St. Paul sponsors a radio program each Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. on WOC Radio, 1420AM. This outreach blesses many of our older and homebound members.

Van rides

Each Sunday morning, van rides are provided for the 9:20 a.m. worship service. If you need a ride, call the church office by Friday afternoon:

Good Samaritan Home

Once a month, St. Paul people host communion and fellowship at the Good Samaritan Center. Some 30 residents of different faith traditions hear God’s Word of hope.

TGIF fellowship

Senior adults gather on the first Friday evening of each month, generally at 7 p.m. in Fellowship Hall, for “TGIF” fun and learning. Contact Paul and Joyce Bohnsack, [email protected], 355-7814.
