At St. Paul’s we want to create a community of youth who support one another, have fun together, and discover what it means to live faithfully in the world.

Sunday night is youth group time.  This is a time to have fun while actively engaging what it means to be a Christian and a Middle school or High School student.

Trips, retreats and service projects help build faith and community as well.

Progressive Christmas Dinner & White Elephant Gift Exchange December 14

We’ll travel to several houses for social time, dinner and end up at the Youth Room for dessert and the White Elephant Gift Exchange. White Elephant gift exchange is where each of us wraps a gift of no more than $5.00 and places it under the tree.  The exchange works that each person gets a number, and we go in sequence, #1 takes a gift, #2 can either take #1's gift or open their own and so on.  We'll discuss the specific trading rules that evening.  The best gifts are the ones you 'find' at the Rummage Sale, your garage, etc...The point is NOT to spend much money on it.
