Lake James
Outreach
Our Outreach Mission is to extend our culture and values of love and compassion outside the walls of our church for the betterment of our community. Our strategy is to encourage the young, the elderly, and those in need of God’s love and understanding.
Lake James Prayer Quilt Misinstry
The Lake James prayer quilt ministry is an ecumenical group of women who come together at St. Paul's to stitch beautiful quilts for those who are going through a difficult time in their lives. They weave their own stories of friendship, community, and personal growth as they work and pray, hoping to make other’s lives a little better.
