Cara Meredith Preaches the Second Sunday of the Month – Cara Meredith is a writer, a speaker, and a super part-time pastor. Once upon a time, she was a high school English and leadership teacher, then she morphed into the non-profit sector for a handful of years; after getting her Master of Theology (Fuller Seminary), she started dabbling in the freelance world, which is where she finds herself now. The author of The Color of Life, Cara is passionate about issues of justice, race, and spirituality, and tries her hardest to work some element of it into every sermon she preaches. She lives with her husband, James, and their two elementary-aged sons, Canon, and Theo, in Oakland.

What Can I Expect?
St. Paul’s services are developed for newcomers and veterans of our community. Whether it is your first time attending a service or you join us every Sunday, we want to ensure you feel welcome and comfortable in exploring and cultivating your relationship with God.
Guided services plus a real world connection
We provide a helpful outline with written instructions that ‘walk you though’ our service and make it easy to follow along and join in. Our practical messages address and provide support for the tough issues many of us face in our lives.
Music
St. Paul’s has a variety of engaging live music from ancient chant and classical to folk and gospel. Past musicians have included the San Francisco Boys Chorus and the Delphi Trio.
Respecting your space
Many people come to church hoping to meet people right away while others, at first, wish to be left alone and in quiet. We do our very best to read the signals you give and so show respect for your spiritual journey. Take advantage of our moments of silence to help you reconnect to God and yourself.
An open dress code
We want you to wear what makes you feel comfortable whether it is jeans, casual clothing or a suit.
Participate
Our worship services are like a play we present for an audience of one…
The audience is God and we believe everyone in our Sacred Space has a role. Many take on special roles such as setting the altar, leading the procession, reading aloud the scripture, singing or sharing the communion cup.
Contact Judy Rowcliffe to find out how you can become more involved in worship services.
