Qigong will be offered here at St. Paul’s at 7pm Tuesday evenings during Lent; on February 24, March 10, 17, 24 and 31.  This class is fully guided and open to all.  No experience necessary.  Wear comfortable clothing, bring a water bottle and yoga mat.  Yoga mats will be available.

What is Qigong?  Qigong is a gentle moving meditation, a sacred dance.  Through guided breath work, intention and gentle movement, this practice offers us deep relaxation, tranquility and balance.

Food Bank

Approximately 50,000 residents in Chester County experience food insecurity. Bishop Daniel Gutierrez has asked us to focus on both physical and spiritual hunger during this Lenten season.  Grocery bags with lists of nonperishable items will be available after the Sunday services.

Please return your bag with the items on your list to the library in Lockwood Reilly. Bags will be delivered to the Chester County Food Bank before Easter.

Steeple Blessing & Dedication

Thanks to the generosity of long-time member, Barbara Painter (full biography), our steeple renovation project has been completed. The St. Paul’s Community, Painter Family, and members of the restoration crew helped Pastor Maxine Dornemann dedicate and bless this beautiful, new, and historically correct steeple following the 10:30 AM service on Sunday, December 7th. For a pictural timeline of the changes, please Go Here.
