We welcome as friends everyone, of any race, gender, creed,  denomination, political affiliation, or sexual orientation, for all of us "are one in Christ Jesus. "Galatians 3:28"

St. Paul's Episcopal Church of Bakersfield welcomes you to worship.  We invite you to join our inclusive community as we deepen our awareness of the presence of Jesus Christ in us through the Episcopal tradition of inclusivity, worship, and service.  We welcome all to share His joy and love with us, rejoicing in the transforming power of the Spirit. 

"[At St. Paul's clergy and laity] are sharing ministry . . . in a way that should be spotlighted for
the rest of the Church. The joy and enthusiasm I saw in the congregation truly reflected the signs of the Holy Spirit."

Sunday Announcements

As we have grown and expanded the number of our ministries and activities, please remember the following regarding Sunday morning announcements:

• Tim makes all announcements.

• Well before the service begins, give Tim the information that you would  like announced; handing him something already written up with EVERYTHING on it is a huge help

• If (and only if) the announcement is particularly involved, and you think you need to make it 
yourself, seek approval from Tim BEFORE THE SERVICE, so he can invite you to the lectern to use the microphone there.

• Remember that all announcements during worship should be limited to those about St. Paul's ministries and activities; for other, non-parish concerns or activities, consider circulating during the coffee hour in the parish hall to solicit volunteers, donations, etc.
