Our St. Paul logo was designed by fellow parishioner Lori Brechtel, a graphic designer. Lori put great thought and detail into its design. She began by seeking out a symbol of our church that would be readily identifiable to all of our members - the circular, quartered round window on our building.
The yellow, starbust portion represents the light of Christ that blinded Paul, and that light which we show to each other among our congregation, and others. it is "bursting" from the confines of our own church and radiating into the world.

Heidie, a Catholic convert, did not kneel or see others kneel in the Protestant community she came from. The first time she saw a kneeler, she thought it was a footrest. But seeing another woman flip it down to kneel and pray opened Heidie’s eyes to a practice she thought extinct and found mysterious. For those of us who are lifelong Catholics, Heidie’s reflection on kneeling can help us see its sacredness anew. ... See MoreSee Less

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
