Celebrating 130 Years of Sharing Christ's Love!
WELCOME
St. Paul’s Church is celebrating its 130th Anniversary this year, and we invite you to visit us on Sunday to explore the richness of St. Paul’s Church and its history of Dallas. We have been in our present location since the completion of its new sanctuary and dedication on April 7, 1957. * Our goal continues to be to reach and serve others with the love of Christ and his good news. * The history of St. Paul’s Church is a Journey of Faith that tracks with the social and cultural development of the City of Dallas. * The foundation of St. Paul’s Church was laid by faith and has placed us in a unique location to serve at the geographic heart of Dallas. * We welcome you to our services today, and we look forward to your continuing presence with us as we pursue St. Paul’s Church’s Journey of Faith in the future.

Our World
Neighbors in Need Offering
Neighbors in Need (NIN) is a special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States. One-third of NIN funds support the Council for American Indian Ministry(CAIM). Two-thirds of this offering is used by the UCC's Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) to support a variety of justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct service projects through grants. Neighbors in Need grants are awarded to UCC churches and organizations doing justice work in their communities. These grants fund projects whose work ranges from direct service to community organizing and advocacy to address systemic injustice. This year, special consideration will be given to projects focusing on serving our immigrant neighbors and communities.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2020 AT 10:00 A.M.
This Sunday service is at 10 a.m. in the circle drive. St Paul’s is delighted that Etleva Shemai, Mezzo Soprano, extended her visit here from Frankfurt, Germany. She will sing “Ombra mai fu“ (Never such shade) from “Serse” by G. F. Handel and “Ave Maria” by Giulio Caccini in the worship service.
Please remember to wear your face mask while on campus.
If you don’t feel well, are awaiting Covid-19 test results, have tested positive, have been directly exposed, or otherwise know you shouldn’t be around other people for risk of spreading illness, then we ask that you please worship at home.
Likewise, if you feel vulnerable, no one will judge you or shame you for staying home. We respect and support the decisions you make. You are the one who knows best for yourself.
Please wear your masks at all times! If you forget yours or don’t have one, we will have extras for you.
You can park in the parking lot, and we will have the doors of the church open so that you can walk through the church to the circle drive.
We will have chairs set up 6 feet apart. If you come with other members of your household, you can move chairs to sit together, but we do ask that you maintain at least six feet between you and the next household.
We will not pass the offering plate. We’ll have it set on a table along with an offering prayer.
Sunday, October 11, 2020 at 10:00 a.m.
This Sunday, we are worshiping outside in the circle drive to benefit from the shade and beauty of nature.
Etleva Shemai, Mezzo Soprano, visiting here from Frankfurt, Germany, will perform the Bach/Gounod "Ave Maria" as an introit after the prelude and "The Lord's Prayer" later in the worship service.
Here’s what we ask you to do on Sunday morning:

Blessing of the Animals and Communion Service

September 27, 2020, 10:00 a.m. -- On the Circle Drive at St. Paul
This Sunday, our plan is to gather in person to worship outside. Please note the time! We will gather at 10:00 a.m. for worship in the circle drive. We’ve moved the time in order to benefit from shade and cooler temps. Here’s what we ask you to do on Sunday morning:
If you don’t feel well, are awaiting Covid-19 test results, have tested positive, have been directly exposed, or otherwise know you shouldn’t be around other people for risk of spreading illness, then we ask that you please worship at home.
Likewise, if you feel vulnerable, no one will judge you or shame you for staying home. We respect and support the decisions you make. You are the one who knows best for yourself.
Please wear your masks at all times! If you forget yours or don’t have one, we will have extras for you.
You can park in the parking lot, and we will have the doors of the church open so that you can walk through the church to the circle drive.
We will have chairs set up 6 feet apart. We originally said we would like you to bring your own, but we have changed that. If you come with other members of your household, you can move chairs to sit together, but we do ask that you maintain at least six feet between you and the next household.
We will not pass anything out, which means we will not have Bibles, hymnals, or bulletins. This is okay in the sense that we have planned worship so that you will not need these things. It will still feel weird not to have things in our hands telling us what to do. You can bring your own something to keep your hands busy if you desire.
We will also not pass the offering plate. We’ll have it set on a table along with an offering prayer.
We will have the sanctuary doors open so that we can hear Will play the organ during worship. We won’t sing hymns together or have a choir anthem this week. We will recite the Lord’s Prayer together toward the end of the service.
Worship will be shorter than usual, but this is by design. We don’t know how comfortable everyone will be outside or how all the pieces will come together. We’ll need to be flexible to learn as we go over the next few weeks.
Everything will be different. But it will be so good to gather in person, to be in our space, and to worship God together! I can’t wait to see you.
God's Peace and All Good,
Rev. Kayla Coffee-Prose
Pastor, St. Paul's UCC Dallas
