How many needs are there in the Ann Arbor area? Not just how many needy people, by in how many ways can we meet the needs of others? The answer to that question is probably endless. St. Paul helps in several ways. We support homeless families through our service at Alpha House. Members volunteer to spend time playing with the children, serving meals, or staying overnight as a back-up for the regular staff person there. You can contact Alpha House directly, or watch for the sign-up sheet in our weekly newsletter when we’re preparing for a week of service.

Members of St. Paul believe that abortion takes the life of an unborn child. But our response is not to condemn, but to meet the needs of those who are struggling with a difficult or unplanned pregnancy. Through the Pregnancy Counseling Center our members can volunteer to help, or they can provide material assistance needed to young moms.

Through the Paper Peace Corps we collect materials to be shared with prisoners. The Christmas Caring Tree and the Operation Shoebox provide welcome gifts to needy families in Washtenaw County and in 3rd world countries. And numerous other opportunities arise for members of St. Paul to share the blessings that God has given to them.
