St. Paul's Ministries and Committees
Our ministries are led by people who wish to lead and serve God. We strive to regularly rotate leadership so that we encourage good health among those who are called to lead. New ideas for ministries are readily embraced by our community. See something missing? Bring it forward....Speak to the rector, wardens or vestry.
Vestry
Our vestry strives to provide spiritual leadership for our church community. Meeting monthly, they share their own stories of faith and share in the study of scripture together as they seek God's wisdom to guide our community. Each vestry member supports the ministries of the parish through regular contact with leaders of various ministries as it relates to our mission.

Acolytes
Our acolyte teams of crucifers and torch bearers provide a festive richness to our community. Composed mostly of young people, they are trained and scheduled by Lyman Phillips.
Ushers
Ushers support our ministry of welcome, giving out bulletins, guiding people to receive communion, or helping someone find any needed facilities or classrooms. Hearing assistance devices are available from the ushers.

.Outreach
Through a long-standing relationship with a sister parish and school in Haiti, to regional and local support ministries such as the Natick Service Council and Open Door, St. Paul's stays connected to the world through it's service and giving. Our annual Christmas Fair raises monies for those most in need. We strive to tithe our operating budget towards the needs of the world as a witness to the love God has for all people in Christ.
