    Sunday, February 1 | 12:00-1:00 PM | Church of Christ Congregational in Newington

    Appalachian Service Project (ASP) Informational Meeting

    One of our members, Pamela Leggett, has been participating with the Church of Christ Congregational in Newington for 19 years in their summer missions trip with the Appalachian Service Project. ASP is a ministry that travels to the poorest counties in the US, located in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. They repair homes to make them warmer, safer, and drier. But the most important aspect is the relationship building between the teens and adults who are on the trip, and the families and towns that we serve.

    If you are a teen (having finished 9th grade) or an adult that feels called to volunteer, we would love to hear from you! Our 2026 trip will be June 27-July 4. You don't have to have any construction experience to participate, but we are always looking for people with skills to help lead small work groups. For more info on ASP: Visit asphome.org Questions?  Email pamela@pamelaspatterns.com


    Small Groups

    At St. Paul's, we prioritize creating spaces for meaningful connections through small groups. These groups offer a setting for open discussions about faith, mutual encouragement, prayer, and the development of lasting friendships. If you're interested in joining a small group, please reach out to Pastor Ryan.

    Clifton Strengths Finder

    Curious about uncovering your unique strengths? The CliftonStrengths assessment is a fantastic tool to help you understand how God has equipped you to serve as a "minister" in your own way. We're excited to cover the cost of the assessment for you. All we ask is that you meet with our pastoral staff afterward to explore your results together. If you're interested, let us know—we’d love to support you on this journey.


    An Offer of Free Professional Counseling 

    If you are interested in meeting with a professional Christian counselor, St. Paul's is offering to cover the cost of three sessions through Regeneration Therapy. Their team is dedicated to supporting the emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being of individuals, couples, and families, focusing on healing, hope, and transformation. To learn more or express interest, please contact Pastor Ryan.


    Volunteering at St. Paul's

    Joining a volunteer team is a wonderful way to connect with our community. We have a variety of opportunities available, including assisting with set-up or breakdown on Sundays, joining our tech crew, or becoming part of our hospitality team. If you're unsure which team might be the best fit, take a look at our volunteer brochure and reach out—we'll help find a role that suits you. To get involved, email Keith and start making a difference today.


    Need prayer?

    If you need prayer, there are several ways to connect with us. You can fill out an online connection card or reach out to our prayer team at prayer@stpaulswired.org. The team meets Tuesdays at 10:00 AM and is available for "in-person" prayer via Zoom during that time. If that doesn’t work for you, let us know, and we’ll arrange a more convenient time to pray with you.
