Centering Prayer Workshop
2025-10-18 10:00 - 13:00 | Tucker Hall, 2747 Fairmount Blvd, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44106, United States

The workshop will be led by John Fousek and Patricia Romanovich, instructors trained through Contemplative Outreach, Ltd.
Please RSVP to help us plan.
For more information, contact Rev. Patricia.
This event is open to the community! Please invite folks in your life who would enjoy learning more about centering prayer.

Guess Who's Coming to Tapas
2025-10-18 18:00 - 2025-11-07 20:00 | OH
This fall, we are organizing an adults-only, small-group gathering opportunity to “Guess Who’s Coming to Tapas.”
In the “Guess Who’s Coming to Tapas” model, only our Membership Engagement Coordinator knows who the hosts and guests are for each dinner. The menu is also a mystery as the hosts will provide drinks and dessert, and each guest is asked to bring a heavy hors d’oeuvre or a hearty dish to share.
Reserve your spot here once you determine which of the dates is best for you. You will receive the exact address by email the morning of your event. Get ready to be surprised during this fun, fellowship opportunity! Dates available through November 7.
See dates and sign up!

In the Foyer, outside Tucker Hall
For more than 20 years, St. Paul’s has partnered with Fairhill Partners’ Kinship Care program to provide holiday gifts to children being raised by their grandparents. Our partnership has provided hundreds of Christmas gifts to local children throughout the years.
Your contribution is worth more than the price of the gift. By doing the shopping (online or in-store) and gift wrapping, you’re allowing these grandparents to spend more quality time with the children around the holidays. If you will already be finding and wrapping gifts for your family, pick up an extra present (or two) and spread even more holiday cheer!

Names and wish lists of children, along with all other needed details, will be available on Sundays in November outside Tucker Hall.
Follow the instructions from Fairhill Partners for labeling the gift.
Deliver the gift to the parish office no later than Tuesday, December 2. Please check with the office to make sure they are open. We like the gifts to be secure in the office. You can also bring the gifts to the table outside Tucker Hall on Sundays.

Questions? Reach out to Julie Dornback or Jennie Kaffen. Their phone numbers are on Realm, Parish Notes, E-News, or Sunday Notes (with the Sunday service bulletin). You can also call the church office.
