Together, we have the power to end homelessness
in our community.

The Interfaith Hospitality Network–Main Line (IHN-ML) is committed to helping homeless families in our community to achieve lasting independence. Its goal is to provide safe, temporary housing, meals and support services to homeless families in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.

In March, St. Paul’s in Telford has the opportunity to open our doors to a few families who are in transition and need a place to sleep, shower, and eat. Our volunteers will cook and serve meals, play and interact with the children, provide transportation back and forth to the Keystone Opportunity Center, as well as provide emotional support to guests. This is a chance to go on a mission trip without travel.

If you would like to connect with your passion for outreach and take advantage of this opportunity, sign up in the Narthex or email Peter Detweiler  socialministrystpaulstelfordorg    or Pastor Christensen.

The subject is Dealing with Losses – Others’ and Your Own.  If you’ve lost a loved one and think you should “just get over it”, or care about others who are grieving, but just don’t know what to say or how to show you care, this event can help you understand the nature of “normal” grief, the ups, the downs, and the duration of the journey and what may be most helpful to those around you who need your support.  Our speaker for this event is Elaine Ely, Bereavement Coordinator for Grand View Hospital Hospice.  Elaine is a UCC pastor with 16 years’ experience in hospice care, having spent the past 7 years serving our community through GVH. 

As usual, we will not be having Senior Events during February due to the very real possibility of inclement weather.  Keep warm and rest up for more festive, fun and fabulous events coming next spring.

Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it’s the prison where she has been held for seven years.  Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven by eleven foot space.  But with Jack’s curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.  Room is  a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating– a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.

SUNDAY @ 6:00 P.M. –is scheduled for the THIRD Sunday of each month in the church parlor at 6 pm.  Everyone is welcome to attend this contemporary Worship Service.
