Episcopal Charities

The Episcopal Charities campaign for 2010 started the weekend of March 6-7. Please read the Letter to the Parish from Jeff & Thomasine.

March 7 was EPISCOPAL CHARITIES SUNDAY! We were pleased to welcome as our guest speakers Julie Deldeo and Garrie Borden of the Domestic Violence Resource Center of South County in Wakefield dvrcsc.org. Your pledge card may be returned with the offering, or you may bring it to the parish office, or mail it to St. Paul’s Church. Consider renewing and increasing your pledge -- or be a first-time donor -- so we can have 100% participation and meet St. Paul’s parish goal of $41,768. Giving together as “one heart”, dozens of agencies like DVRCSC can maintain their services to many whose burdens are much heavier than our own, who struggle daily through the shadows and vulnerable edges of life. A bright future for many of our Rhode Island neighbors depends on you. “Thanks be to God!” for your continued prayers and generous support of Episcopal Charities!


Please Help Feed the Food Pantry!
Are you hungry? We hope not! Too many in our community are, and they have a wonderful resource in our North Kingstown Food Pantry. Please consider bringing tuna or peanut butter or other nutritious nonperishable foods to church each week. They can be left in the food barrel at the church on Main Street. A small thing for each of us to do could mean a lot to someone else!

Our restored steeple
A major project during the summer of 2003 was the complete restoration of our bell tower. some pictures during restoration  (updated 12-13-03)

Restored Cross on steeple The completion of the work was cause for a Lift High The Cross celebration on Sunday, November 2, 2003, as the refurbished cross was raised to the top of the tower. This was a once in a lifetime experience.



St. Pauls received an award from the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission on April 23, 2005 for the restoration of our bell tower.
