To schedule an event, go to the Policies and Forms page. See the Google calendar maintained by St. Paul’s staff. Contact the church office to get your event on the calendar.
To reserve a room, go to the Room Reservations page which incorporates an easy-to-fill-out-and-submit Room Reservation Form. There is also a link to a fillable and printable room reservation form on that page if you prefer that. The Room Reservation Calendar is a read-only calendar that shows you what rooms have already been reserved. If you need audio equipment for your event, please send your request to audio@stpaulscary.org.
To request a key, review the Facilities Key Distribution Policy and submit Key Request Form to the Financial Manager. The Key Request Form is available on the Policies and Forms page.
To get a flier printed or photocopied at the church, camera ready material should be dropped off or emailed to the Office Manager at least 10 days before the date it is needed.
To get a flier or brochure mailed to the congregation, contact the Office Manager for mailing labels at least two weeks prior to the mailing. Your committee is responsible for assembling the mailing after scheduling a time with the Office Manager. Bulk mailings must be done according to strict Postal Service requirements.

A limited number of fundraising events are acceptable annually.
