Become part
of the community

At the heart of the Christian experience of worshipping the Triune God is becoming part of something bigger than ourselves — the body of Christ. We invite you to go deeper into that communal identity by participating in small groups. Read more about our various groups here and let us know if you have any questions. 

Women's Group

New in 2024:  The Women’s Group is now forming and will plan to meet on the same evenings as the Men’s Group.  If you are interested, we will announce times and locations in advance on the news page.  No need to sign up or RSVP…just show up!  Questions? Ask Cara. We hope to see many of you there!

Men's Group

Seniors with Grace

A Monthly Eucharist and Brunch on the 4th Thursday of every month at 9:30 am.
Seniors join with one another to greet new faces and renew friendships. Everyone 55ish years and older is welcome. Our renewed senior ministry will remain focused on physical and social community health. We begin with Morning Prayer, followed by a small brunch and fellowship. Please reach out to Verger & Worship Leader, Ron Brown-Gray at vergers@stpauls-dayton.org if you have questions and/or if you are in need of community support.

Movie Night

Movie Night is a monthly dinner, film, and popcorn gathering organized by Nedra Smolka and Diane Labrie. Dinner is served at 6, and the movie begins at 6:30 with popcorn throughout. Keep an eye on the weekly news page and the weekly bulletin for announcements. 

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Do you crochet or knit? Join others in the parish to create prayer shawls for those going through a difficult time in life and who would benefit by being wrapped in love and blessings. The group meets the first Monday of each month at 1:00 pm. New prayer shawls are blessed monthly. If you know someone who would enjoy a prayer shawl, you can select one from those on display in the Cloister for a donation of $25 to St. Paul's.

GROW!

GROW! is an intergenerational worship, fellowship, and formation opportunity that meets monthly every second and fourth Sunday at 5pm, from September through May (with a few exceptions). GROW! begins with a short Eucharist, followed immediately by a common dinner and fellowship. The fellowship continues with formation opportunities for adults and children that explore themes of faith through conversation, listening, and story-telling. People of all walks of life and faith experiences are welcome to our conversations. Invite your friends and neighbors!. Interested in helping prepare or provide dinner? Click here
