St. Paul’s Service League
“What shall I render to the Lord, for all His benefits to me?” Psalm 116:12
Desiring to rally St. Paul’s congregation together for service in our Church and Community, St. Paul’s Council oversees a “Service League.” This “League” of parishioners and friends of St. Paul’s seeks to be the “worker bees” for all things that need to get done through our congregational ministry.
Teams within St. Paul’s Service League are formed annually, created on a volunteer basis, and managed by an individual or group from St. Paul’s Council. Each year team members have the opportunity to remain on a specific team or go off of a specific team. Teams can be of any size. The more the merrier!
