Worship Survey
Our church staff and worship team value your input. As we are looking back on this past year, we would appreciate hearing from you. We have created an online survey to help us evaluate our worship offerings at St. Paul’s. We encourage you to take a few moments to complete it to help us as we consider what has gone well this year in helping people experience God’s presence and guiding us to be “a generous community following Jesus for the good of the world.”
Pet Blessing Ceremony
Do you have an important pet in your life? The St. Paul’s Pet Ministry Team is hosting a Pet Blessing Ceremony on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 2:00 pm. Bring your leashed or crated pet, or a photo of your pet, to the patio area outside of Brummet Hall. Shirley Maddox and Kristin Rhodes will give blessings to each animal companion.

Mountain Pathways (Discipleship Group)
Mountain Pathways is an original study and small group experience that invites participants to prayerfully evaluate the connection between their beliefs and their behaviors, and then pursue a pathway of growth as a follower of Jesus Christ.
2025 Special Gifts Campaign
In 2025 we are pursuing a special short-term, special gift campaign: “Retire the Debt & Re-floor the Gym.” Our goal with this fundraiser is to raise enough in special gifts within the year to eliminate the remaining mortgage debt of the Billy & Ann Still Life Center (apx. $250,000) and install a new sports floor in that building’s gym (apx. $150,000). Eliminating the remaining balance of our mortgage and completing the major improvement of the gym floor will free us to invest more fully in our mission to be “a generous community following Jesus for the good of the world,” toward our vision of “communities transformed because people are…”
Gym Floor Special Gifts
Current and previous members of the Upward Sports basketball and cheerleading family are invited to make a one-time tax-deductible gift towards the purchase of the new floor. By donating to this project you are paying it forward to the next generation of Tucson youth.
Life After Loss
Join with Rev. Ron and others from our congregation and community to read and discuss together the book Life After Loss (by Rev. Bob Deits) which provides wisdom and practical exercises for navigating the uncertain terrain of grief and recovery. We will meet through the season of Lent, for seven Mondays beginning March 3, 2025.
