Please join us at Howell Woods to take part in our Wilderness Church, as we venture outside and into the sanctuary of God's creation. Here we will listen to scripture, wonder aloud, walk the path, and share communion. Please be sure to wear appropriate clothing for an outdoor hike, including closed-toed shoes, and bring bug spray, sunscreen, and water. Howell Woods is located at 6601 Devils Racetrack Rd, Four Oaks 27524. All are welcome! This is a great way to share the love of St. Paul's as we take church out of the building and into the wilderness!

Come learn about some of our most famous members, and what they can teach us about becoming "one" in Christ. From their accomplishments to their beliefs and everything in be-tween come learn more about: Eleanor Roosevelt (February 25), Thurgood Marshall (March 4), Pauli Murray (March 11), George H.W. Bush (March 18), and Colin Powell (March 25). Supper will be served at 6:00 p.m. and our program will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m., each week in Lawrence Hall.
