Parishioner News: Susan Kalanges on MLK Day

Posted by Kimberly Allen

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" In that spirit, last week, Wallace+ shared how he planned to celbrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a "day on" and invited the people of St. Paul's to share your plans.

In response, parishioner Susan Kalanges shared the following:

Susan is a leader within the National Alliance on Mental Illness - Central Virginia chapter. Thanks, Susan, for sharing your efforts!

MLK 25 Challenge

If you haven't yet shared how you spent the day, please do so! We'd love to pass along any reflections, photos, and inspirations you may have. And, of course, engaging in the community is a year-round ministry. This year, the Corporation for National & Community Service launched the MLK 25 Challenge on Martin Luther King Day, encouraging Americans to serve year-round. 

Visit the St. Paul's Web site to get involved through St. Paul's outreach ministries or check out Hands On Greater Richmond for short- and long-term volunteer opportunities throughout the city of Richmond.

Radio One Gives Back at St. Paul’s

Posted by Kimberly Allen

Thank you (times 30) to our new friends at Radio One! On October 28, a team of Radio One Richmond volunteers spent the morning and afternoon helping serve a warm meal to over 300 Emmaus Walk-In Lunch guests. They were at St. Paul's as part of the 30 year anniversary of Radio One giving back to the community. Here in Richmond, Radio One used their 30 days in part to raise awareness about volunteering at St. Paul's and other area service providers on their local radio stations Praise 104.7 FM, KissFM 99.3 and 105.7, and iPower 92.1.

You can check out photos from the day on the Praise Richmond Web site or by clicking on the below slideshow, produced by KissRichmond.
