For one day only, we have invited Episcopal Church Leaders from around the country to share their vision in workshops, testimony, and worship.

 The Fearless Faith Revival is the highlight event in the evening. Set in a outdoors on the beautiful campus of St. John’s Church in Roseville, the worship service will feature uplifting music, prayer and preaching by our special guest, Bishop Daniel Gutierrez of the Diocese of Pennsylvania.

Livestreaming Our 8:45 AM Service

Changes begin 4/7

Those of you who livestream our Sunday services will notice a few changes after Easter. As of 4/7, we’ll be streaming our 8:45 service to YouTube rather than Facebook Live.
None of these changes will affect how our parishioners access the video. That process remains completely unchanged- Log in to Facebook and search for “St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.” Once you’re on our page, scroll down the timeline and a link will be posted just prior to the beginning of the service. We’ll also provide a direct link to our YouTube channel, and technical support worksheets upon request.  Anyone having any difficulty, is welcome to contact our Communications Coordinator, Eric Foster at communications@stpaulsbenicia.org

 

New Class: Mission & Membership 
Sunday April 28 @ 11:15 AM (after 10am service)

There are many ways to participate in a church community. But which one is right for you? Join us for a lively discussion on the meaning of membership in the Episcopal Church and here at St. Paul’s. Guided by the Rector and a panel of old-timers, we’ll cover everything from sacramental rites (baptism, confirmation, reception) to nametags. Children are welcome to attend, and childcare is available too. Bring a snack that reminds you of a good story (storebought or homemade).

Please RSVP to help us prepare materials using the cards in the pews or online.
