Hello – The next few weeks we have a special focus on our Children and Youth. We’ve got a back to school blessing and gift at the 10am service this Sunday, a family friendly baseball game at the San Rafael Pacifics and an effort to assure St. Paul’s is as safe as possible for children. 1.…

Hello – This Saturday is our second annual Beach Day at Hart’s Desire Beach on Tomales Bay. Kati will be arriving there when it opens at 8:30am to save us a prime spot on the beach. Last year it was a ton of fun with little hikes, playing and swimming in the water and, for…
Back From Vacation Hello – Today is my first day back at church after vacation. I already had lunch with the Belles of the St. Anne’s Guild and have been in touch with a wide range of our excellent leaders. It’s been good to hear of how much has been done while I’ve been gone…
