Fellowship Opportunities

Our fellowship with one another allows us a relaxed and social atmosphere through which we can glimpse Christ working in the midst of us. St. Paul's social opportunities educate and energize us; and teach us more about ourselves at our various ages and stages of life. In this way, fellowship engages us more fully in the life of the Parish.

Foyer Groups
Foyer is a French word meaning "hearthside," implying the warmth of a close group of friends sharing a common love and concern for each other. St. Paul's Foyers are small groups that meet to share a simple meal and fellowship on the third Sunday evening of each month from October to May. The host, which rotates each month, provides the entree and assigns fellow group members other courses for the meal. This popular activity is a great way to get to know other members of the parish. Volunteers are also needed to coordinate this fellowship ministry.
