Welcome

Our Purpose is to:
Praise God through worship,
Grow as disciples through study,
Share our faith through testimony, and
Serve others through ministry.

Welcome to St. Paul's. We are a family of Christian believers excited about being a part of what God is doing in the world and in our community. We invite you to visit us to see if the rich Spirit of Christ we are experiencing, meets your needs as well. The pastor, staff and church leaders at St. Paul's are committed to excellence in ministry. We are servants and imitators of Christ, eager to share from the rich abundance of His blessings.

UMCORHAITI
Health Kit Update

We would like to thank the congregation for their generosity to the Haiti Health Kits. We have collected 160 health kits which will be transported on February 19th to the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Northfield, New Jersey. Good Shepherd is a drop off point for the kits. They will transport the kits to Mission Central for distribution to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief).

This will be an ongoing mission. As you feel led to buy the items, one, some or all, needed for the kits we will put together the kits and deliver the kits to Mission Central.

Please always feel free to ask us any questions, or make any suggestions, regarding mission activities.

Congratulations! You've Been Flocked!

That's the greeting you'll find attached to the neck of a pink flamingo residing for the day on your lawn along with the rest of his flock. The good-natured "flocking" is a fund-raiser for the Jersey Shore Bahamas Mission Team, which includes St. Paul's own Sean H.

If you would like to share the flock with another "victim," you merely make a donation of $10-$20 to the team. Although removal of the tropical beauties will be done the next day at no charge, your small donation would help the cause.

Circuit Rider - February 2010


Well, we all made it safely back from our pilgrimage to Israel and journey to Egypt. This past month a group from St. Paul's headed to the Holy Land. It was a long flight, almost 13 hours each way, and very long busy days. Our day would begin at 6 and end after 7 each evening. I thank God for the opportunity to make this trip. The last time I was in Israel was in 1997. I was surprised at how many things changed in just 12 years. When I went before I was interested in seeing those places where Jesus had done ministry. This time I was more interested in what was happening today to the people and their environment.

Counseling Article – Feb. 2010

Greetings in the name of Jesus! Happy New Year to those I haven't seen. You may have noticed that I have not had an article in the Circuit Rider for a couple of months and wondered where is she? I'm here. As many of you know God has a way of changing our lives and circumstances.

After, seventeen years of working in the "ministry" I am now back in Corporate America. At first it didn't make sense to me. I loved ministering to God's people and children in the counseling realm. The fact is whether we know it or not we are all God's children and because I live my life believing that God knows the plan I can accept where He leads me. There must be someone there who does not yet know him that needs the love of God or someone there is to touch my life.

MARRIAGE MINISTRY

My name is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , and God has put it on my heart to begin a marriage-building ministry. I will be writing a piece for the Circuit Rider each month for couples to read and talk about. I will also be putting ideas in the bulletin; could be a book to read, a movie to watch together, a date idea... pick the ones that work for you – or take the challenge to do as many as you can! They will be little things, but by doing these little things, our relationships will get stronger.

I want this ministry to be interactive; I have given my contact info below. If there is a subject you want me to address, let me know. If you have questions, please ask. For questions that are beyond me, I have a licensed counselor who has agreed to work with me to find answers. I am committed to doing whatever I can to help all of us be blessed with strong, loving marriages that strengthen our families, this church and the community we live in... marriages that honor God.

Youth News - February 2010

There are three men in the Bible who can serve as great models for all of us of the kind of Christians we need to be for one another in the Body of Christ – Paul, Barnabas, and Timothy. Everybody needs a Paul, a Barnabas, and a Timothy in their life – and hopefully we are a Paul, or a Barnabas, or a Timothy in the life of someone else!

Paul
Let's talk about Paul. He served as spiritual leader to so many believers and as a personal mentor to at least a handful. His desire was to follow God's call on his life and leave a legacy behind for the next generation of the church. Acts 20 shows his heart for a next generation of church leaders:

"I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears."- Acts 20.26-31.

Verse of the Day

  • 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
    “[Love] If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.”
