We are aiming to offer points of connection, encouragements, Bible teaching and prayer support to all the young people in these times. Here’s a brief overview of what’s currently on offer for young people:
Wednesday evening Zoom sessions at 8pm (for older youth, years 9-13 – note year 8s welcome also)
Sunday morning Pathfinders Zoom sessions at 11.30am (for younger youth, years 7-9) – smaller opt in group(s) for youth who want to go deeper with sharing prayer requests and supporting one another
Michael and the youth team are aiming to make individual supportive contact with each of the 100+ young people we have a connection with. Please contact Tori if you would like your young person to be added to any of these initiatives
Mondays
@8-9pm
The writer of Hebrews in chapter 10 verse 25 encourages us to “not give up meeting together…but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
In the face of something that we can’t control then what better way to respond than to continue to gather in prayer (albeit online) to the one who IS in control, Jesus.
Each Monday we will be gathering on Zoom for a weekly church prayer meeting to pray into and about the COVID 19 pandemic and associated issues we and the country face at this time.
If you would like to join us, please email andy@stpauls-stalbans.org to get the Zoom login details!

Support
There’s wonderful support happening across the St Paul’s family and in our neighbourhoods, through existing friendships and homegroups, and new networks. We really want everyone to keep safe and to support each other in self isolation and social distancing, and so we are helping put people in touch with each other for practical help with shopping and errands, phone or online chats, and prayer.
If you count yourself as one of our church family and would like to offer support in these ways, please email support@stpauls-stalbans.org.
If you are in need at this time, and are local to St Paul’s, please contact us. If we cannot help directly, we will try to put you in touch with other local groups. Please email support@stpauls-stalbans.org.
