What's New at St. Paul's?
The Mission of Saint Paul's Parish is to faithfully serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all people. We strive to live out our mission by seeking and serving Him in all who come to this parish and all who are members of our wider community.
At St. Paul's, "mission" is woven through everything! From the secure foundation of faith, members find new ways to serve in the parish, and beyond.
02/28/2011. St. Paul's Lovin' Spoonful soup kitchen is off to a fine start. Donations of food as well as cash have been coming in almost weekly; soon it will be time for another meeting to discuss where the money will be best used. Although we have been averaging only one person per day, the word is starting to spread, and we will try to follow where Jesus leads. "Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and gave You something to eat?"

07/12/2010. On May 22, Canon Greg and Susan participated in a mission project dear to them, to our "sister" parish of St. Paul's/H'burg (who sent the Greers to us for a "Faith Alive" weekend), and to our whole Diocese. The beneficiaries of Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community included the St. Barnabas Center located at St. Paul's/H'burg. CLICK HERE to see WHTM-TV's recent St. Barnabas Center profile. To quote the St. Barnabas website, "... with [Episcopal and Lutheran] Bishops McNutt & Edmiston joined by Bishops Baxter & Hoover and 52 others.... We raised over $9,000... [$9,771 of their goal of $17,000 to date.] There are also results of the walk, however, that cannot be quantified..." (CLICK HERE for more information. Start planning now for next year's Walk! ~SH~

BISHOP'S OPEN RESULTS. Bishop Baxter thanked St. Paul's Wellsboro for their work in organizing the Bishop's Open Golf Tournament on June 14th at Tyoga Country Club in Wellsboro.
Congratulations to the Cup-winning team: Otto Orszagh (Christ Church/Coudersport); Otto's son-in-law Steve DiPasquale; Mark Wivell (Prince of Peace/Gettysburg); and John Stevenson (Prince of Peace/Gettysburg).
The score was tied at 65, but the winner was determined by tiebreaker: lowest score on the back side.

The big winner of the event was the Bishop's Discretionary Fund: sponsors, participants, and supporters raised a total of $1,194 to support needs around the diocese through this fund.
