Youth
Our
UMY (United Methodist Youth) groups meet every Sunday at 4:30 in the church
gym. They are a dynamic group of young people (grades 6-12). Our
youth are a very active group at St. Paul. They do many projects
throughout the year. A few include a church wide Valentine's dinner, work in
the soup kitchen, lock ins, planning and working in the haunted house at our
annual Halloween carnival, car washes, and retreats. To reward themselves
for all of their hard work, they take a spring break and summer trip. They
are under the leadership of Roger Rasico.
Adult Programs
United
Methodist Women is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience
freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative,
supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation
in the global ministries of the church. St. Paul has three UMW groups and
new members are warmly welcomed at any time. Please contact the church
for more information on groups and meetings.

Scouting Program
St.
Paul has supported Pack 30 and Troop 30 of the Boy Scouts of America for many
years. Troop 30 was recently recognized as "troop of the
year." Every February we have Scout Sunday during a
worship. The Scoutmaster is Tom Smith, and the advisors are Ray
Camp and Tom Dodson, all of whom are St. Paul members. The Scouts meet
weekly at the church annex on Mondays and Tuesdays. For more information
