Community Outreach

St. Paul’s parish actively supports people and organizations locally, nationally, and internationally and our Outreach Committee plays a big part in that!  From inviting guest speakers in to help educate and inform the parish of important and worthwhile causes, organizing and coordinating donations and ensuring they reach their destinations, bringing news back to the parish about our foster children, stocking and monitoring our church Food Pantry, and so much more!  The Outreach Committee strives to fulfil Jesus’ command to ‘love our neighbours as ourselves’, on behalf of St. Paul’s.  The need is great in so many areas of the local community and the world, and St. Paul’s is grateful for those who volunteer and support our Outreach Committee initiates.

Designated Givings Program

Every month St. Paul’s highlights one particular charity or organization in need, for those who are able to support financially through our Designated Givings Program.  Each of our “designated giving” organizations is identified by a number, and people can send in donations by indicating that number on their envelope.

E.g.  #40 supports Kawartha Lakes Food Source

DESIGNATED GIVINGS# 215 for September is in support of ARocha, a Christian environmental organization focused on CREATION CARE. This means parishes like ours can benefit from the wisdom, experience and success of like-minded churches. Working as “stewards of creation” we can help mend the damage that would permanently destroy the atmosphere, oceans and inhabitants of “this our fragile earth, our island home.”

Annual St. Paul’s Christmas Dinner

Our long-standing annual Christmas Dinner has become well known tradition in Lindsay, as we provide a full Christmas dinner and dessert for anyone who may be alone, or without the means of having Christmas dinner.  Thanks to our kitchen crew and many volunteers, along with financial donations St. Paul’s had been able to continue providing these dinners free of charge to any and all who attend!
