GIVING TO ST. PAUL’S
RESPONDING TO THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGE OF COVID-19
We are doing everything we can to support our congregation and community during this crisis, including new online services and St Paul’s Connect, the community buddy system.
Thank you for your continued financial support, which has allowed us to adapt to these unprecedented times. You have enabled us to share the hope of the Christian faith in a time of uncertainty.

We encourage you to consider prayerfully supporting us and our work. Thank you for your existing support, both with your finances and your prayers, during these turbulent times.
