Feed Your Soul with Worship At St. Paul's

In Person Worship in the Sanctuary on Sunday


9:00 AM - Worship with Communion **

10:30 AM - Worship with Sanctuary Choir; Communion on the first Sunday of the month


** "Fifth Sunday, One Community" worship -- November 30, 2025. There is no 9:00 AM worship service on 5th Sunday. Worship at 10:30 AM only.


We come together in worship in-person in the Sanctuary on Sunday mornings. During the programming year (which roughly aligns with the traditional "school year") we offer both 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM in-person worship services on most Sundays. Typically from June to Labor Day, our entire community comes together for one service at 10:30 AM.


For those who worship at home, or wherever you may be, our 10:30 AM service is livestreamed each Sunday - visit our Worship at Home page for the video livestream. The stream is also recorded and the video remains available for later viewing for about three weeks.


Please scroll down for highlights about upcoming worship opportunities and other details! 


Nursery care for preschoolers and younger is available during the 10:30 worship time. During the programming year (Sept.-May), we offer Sunday School on most Sundays during the 10:30 worship hour for children in Grade K-5. For Sunday School or Nursery questions, visit our Children's page to learn more or contact Erin Steele in the church office at stpaulsunited@stpaulsk.org.

Worship This Month...

We warmly welcome everyone to worship indoors in the Sanctuary at 9:00 and 10:30 AM on most Sunday mornings (and at 10:30 only during the summer). 


Worship plans for the coming month:

  • September 7 - Starting the first Sunday in September, we will have two opportunities each Sunday to join in worship in-person. The worship service at 9:00 AM will include Communion each Sunday. The worship service at 10:30 AM will offer Communion on the first Sunday of the month and music led by the Sanctuary Choir each week. The 10:30 AM service will continue to be available by livestream.
  • September 14 - The worship service at 9:00 AM will include Communion each Sunday. At the 10:30 service, the pastors will present BIbles to the Third Grade class and we will bless the teachers and leaders who will guide Sunday School, St. Paul's Youth, Confirmation, Children's Choir, and Adult Study ministries this year. For those who wish to partake of communion at 10:30, blessed "all-in-one" packages are available the chancel rail for use before or after the service. 
  • September 21 & 28 - Worship at 9:00 AM with Communion and 10:30 AM with Choir.

Looking ahead:

RMN Anniversary – Sunday, Oct. 19

This year we celebrate 5 years as a Reconciling Congregation! In worship, we’ll give thanks for our journey of inclusion and renew our commitment to justice, welcome, and love for all people. Music at 10:30 will include guest musicians including James Woods and a new contemporary gospel anthem by Mark Miller. Wear your brightest clothes and rainbow colors as we fill the sanctuary with joy, love, and bold witness!

During most Sundays in the programming year (Sept-May), children in grades K-5 worship with their families in the Sanctuary on the first Sunday of the month and attend Sunday School classes during the 10:30 worship hour the rest of the month. There are also designated special Sundays, such as Education Sunday, when children will be in worship for part of the service before transitioning to their classrooms. Additional information about children's programming and Sunday School is available on our Children's page.


To worship from home or wherever you are, please go to our Worship at Home page for the livestream each Sunday at 10:30 AM and *pdf of the worship bulletin.

Fifth Sunday, One Community

When there are five Sundays in a month, we use the fifth Sunday as an opportunity to bring together all of our worshipers at one time and will hold a single Sunday service at 10:30 AM. (There will be no 9:00 AM worship service offered on these days.)


While the usual 9:00 and 10:30 worship formats differ somewhat and each is valuable, it is also valuable to gather all our members and friends together as one community, singing and praying together. 


Fifth Sunday, One Community embraces worshipers of all ages. There is no Sunday School programming this day, and families will be together in the Sanctuary. This is a time for all to remember and live into the vows we make at baptism to help our young people grow in faith and become familiar with the rhythms of worship.


"Fifth Sunday, One Community" dates for 2024-2025 are:

September 29, 2024

December 29, 2024

March 30, 2025

June 29, 2025

THe Mask Question - Answered!

Masks are optional in almost all St. Paul's spaces.



As of October 2022, masks are optional for: 

  • In-person worship including regular Sunday services, funerals/memorials, or special worship events.
  • Meetings with staff.
  • Small group meetings.
  • Music ensembles.
  • Community or private groups holding events in St. Paul's spaces.
  • Staff & volunteers working in the Nursery.


We expect all members of the St. Paul's community to show care for one another by:

  • Treating others with respect, whether mask-wearing or non-mask-wearing.
  • Wearing a mask if you have been recently exposed to a covid-positive "close contact," in case you may be carrying the virus.
  • Staying home if you feel sick.
  • Staying home if you test positive for covid or are exposed to covid.
  • Wearing a mask in small groups or for specific activities if a participant has made this request. We do wish to honor the requests of immune-compromised or vaccine-ineligible individuals when doing so is feasible. Please see your group leader if you have specific concerns.


Some other FAQ's:

  • St. Paul's will continue to make hand sanitizer and disposable face masks available in the Narthex for any who wish to use them.
  • There are no covid-related seating capacity rules or social distancing restrictions in the Sanctuary.
  • Public or large-scale meal events and indoor receptions or repasts are allowed, but are scheduled based on building use needs and staff availability.


Thank you for showing care for one another. We know that wearing masks reduces covid transmission as well as other illnesses, and that vaccinations reduce the likelihood of serious illness. We also know that gathering together at any time carries risks of spreading a variety of infectious diseases. Only you can decide what is right for yourself or your family based on your health conditions and comfort levels.
