Worshipping. Serving. Growing in Faith.
These three facets of Christian discipleship—how we gather to pray, how we reach out to our neighbors in loving service, and how we nurture the spiritual growth of all God’s children through our formation activities from childhood into adulthood—form the backbone of our common life.
We have an exciting year ahead of us in 2022:
- As We Worship – Our sanctuary is now enabled for hybrid offerings, allowing us to stream Sunday worship as well as special events like forums, baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and funerals. We just welcomed Jeff Kager as our new Facilities Manager, a position created to ensure that our newly-renovated Preschool, Parish Hall, and campus are properly maintained for programs and events in our community life.
- As We Serve – Our Refuge for Refugees Ministry is getting ready to welcome a new Afghani family any day now. This past summer, we partnered with Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian and other faith communities to provide much-needed tutoring assistance in their Summer Program. We are ensuring that housing remains affordable for all families in Cary in partnership with ONE Wake. In 2021, the clergy distributed thousands of dollars to address basic needs such as eviction prevention and utility bill assistance—a total amount that is already over ten times larger than what we distributed in 2019.
- As We Grow in Faith Together – We welcomed the Rev. Alice Graham Grant as our Associate Rector for Children’s and Youth Formation in August, strengthening our capability to nurture the spiritual growth of the whole family alongside our existing clergy and staff, which includes the existing Youth and Children’s Coordinator positions.

Every gift makes a difference in our ability to worship, serve, and grow together. In considering what you can give, we hope you find inspiration by checking out the parishioner testimonies during Sunday worship services on October 17, 24, and 31, which can be accessed on St. Paul’s YouTube Channel. We look forward to continuing the journey together in 2022.
