Commitment to Fair Trade
The St. Paul Book Corner stocks unique handcrafted treasures by skilled artisans in Africa, Asia, and Latin America through fair trade organizations. The shelves are well-stocked with fairly-traded gifts, coffee, and chocolate — that translate into fair income for farmers and artisans in developing countries.
Mission Partnerships
St. Paul congregation shares a mission partnership with the Bombo Lutheran Parish in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania in East Africa and with two ELCA missionaries in Papua New Guinea.
"Yes, this is how God loved the world: He gave his only child; so that all people with faith in him can escape destruction and live a full life, now and forever." ~John 3:16
