Capital Project Update: 2025

Our capital project for 2025 will be to replace the original windows from the 1950's that were the idea of Rev. Bob Parks vision for St. Paul's in our Parish hall, and other exteriors including the offices. The cost is expected to be between 15 - 18k. We are not doing a formal capital campaign this year but if you feel led to make a donation, please write "capital fund" or "window fund" on your check and mail it to the church or put it in the collection plate. It is our hope to count all donations by Sunday August 17th.
