Volunteer Opportunities Serving the Parish and Community

Packing Bagged Lunches for the Neighborhood Resilience Project

Saturday, February 4, 8:30am - 11am in the Undercroft

Come help us support the ministry of the Neighborhood Resilience Project, an organization focused on trauma-informed community development in the Hill District. On the first Saturday of each month, we assemble and deliver 120 bagged lunches! This is a great family-friendly volunteer activity that is a fun way to connect and serve for all ages, and young children are welcome! In addition to packing, we also need volunteers to shop for food, as well as delivering the lunches at 11am after they are packed. You can sign up here. To find out more, contact the Rev. Erin Morey, [email protected], 412-531-7153 ext. 13.



Advocate with the Episcopal Public Policy Network - St. Paul's Social Justice and Anti-Racism Commission invites you to sign up to receive Action Alerts from the Episcopal Public Policy Network. You can also sign the EPPN's first Action Alert of the year, encouraging Congress to Advance the Study of Reparations for descendants of enslaved people RIGHT NOW! Contact the Rev. Erin Morey [email protected] 412-531-7153 ext. 13 with any questions.

Donate Menstrual Hygiene Products

Help St. John's Lutheran Church provide period products to clients of the St. John's Free Fridge Pantry! Drop off packages of pads and tampons (any brand, any size) to the specially marked bin in St. Paul's Undercroft. Then, volunteers will repack them, and provide them to the food pantry for distribution. Contact the Rev. Erin Morey [email protected] 412-531-7153 ext. 13 with any questions.


Neighborhood Resilience Project

Neighborhood Resilience Project is a partner ministry of St. Paul's, whose focus is on trauma-informed community development in Pittsburgh. We made a monthly commitment to provide 120 brown-bag lunches for kids on the first Saturday of every month in 2022. You can sign up here as an individual, a family, or a small group of people. If you would like to participate in this new ministry, email Erin. We are working on having more service opportunities with Neighborhood Resilience Project in the near future!


Collecting for Trinity Walk-In Ministry

Often, people who visit the Walk-in Ministry are living outside in camps or are making do in temporary living arrangements, and can use an extra blanket. We take donated blankets. The blankets can be used as long as they are cleaned and in good condition. Please donate only twin size or larger (not “throws”). Please put donated blankets in the marked bin in the Undercroft. Thank you for so generously supporting the mission of the Walk-in Ministry at Trinity.


Food Pantry Sunday

St. Paul’s collects food and monetary contributions to support the South Hills Food Pantry the first Sunday of the month. Please remember to bring your nonperishable food contributions to the service of your choice. All canned, jarred (plastic, please) and boxed items are appreciated. You can also donate financially to support the Food Pantry by clicking here. At the 8:45am and 10:45am services, you will be invited to bring your donation forward during the service. Contributions may also be placed in the food box in the Undercroft at any time.


Meal Train

Providing a warm meal for someone after a surgery is such a blessing! At St Paul's we have a ministry which offers food for people. If you would like to be on the list to receive Meal Train requests (you are not obligated to prepare a meal for every request!), our parish would benefit from your generosity. To put your name on the list, please contact Laura at [email protected].


Ride Ministry
At times, parishioners need help with rides to get to appointments. If you would like to have your name on the list to occasionally offer rides to parishioners in need, please contact Laura at [email protected].


Volunteer Opportunities for our Parish Worship
Altar Guild
The altar guild prepares bread and wine, altar candles and cloths, book, vessels and vestments prior to every service, and cleans up afterward. Members also decorate the church seasonally. Open to men, women, and older youth. If you're interested in joining the altar guild, contact Noah at [email protected].

Lectors
The lectors read Scripture and lead the Prayers of the People during worship services. They are assigned about once every other month. Open to anyone! If interested, let Noah know at [email protected].

Acolytes
Youth that are in third grade through seniors in high school help lead us in worship by serving as Acolytes! Acolytes help prepare for the service by lighting candles, holding candles, holding the Gospel book, and other important elements to our worship. If your youth would like to be trained and serve as an Acolyte, please contact Laura at [email protected].

Greeters
Come join the fun of the greeter ministry at St. Paul's! The role of the greeter is primarily to welcome people into each of our worship services, give them a bulletin, and reiterate any COVID protocols currently in place. You will be provided training and instructions fafter you sign up. Contact Noah with any questions at [email protected]

Worship Band
Our worship band leads us in more contemporary worship at the 8:45am service, and at other combined worship services throughout the year. The ensemble includes piano, guitar, bass and other instruments. They rehearse periodically on Saturday mornings and Sundays before church. Contact Bob ([email protected]) if you're interested in joining the fun!

Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir sings at the 10:45am service and specializes in singing the great hymns and historic music of the Church. Supported by our magnificent pipe organ and other instruments, this choir of high school age and adult singers offers wonderful choral anthems and descants, and leads our singing of Psalms and chant. We rehearse Thursdays during the program year from 7:30 until 8:45 PM and again on Sunday morning at 9:45 AM. Music reading ability and choral singing experience are a plus but not a requirement. Chancel Choir is a great source of fellowship, musicianship, and spirituality -- please join us! Contact Doug if interested at [email protected].

Flower Ministry
The flowers on the altar of St. Paul's are given in memory of loved ones, in celebration for an anniversary or a birth, or for any occasion for which we give thanks to God. The flowers are funded weekly and during festive seasons such as Christmas and Easter. After the last service they are distributed to the ill, the shut-ins, those in need, and parishioners who deserve recognition in the life and work of St. Paul’s. The proceeds from the flowers are used to fund all the Altar Guild expenses including wafers, wine, linens, candles, and seasonal decorations. For more information about how to donate or to volunteer to deliver flowers, email the church office or (412)531-7153x10.
