Outreach Ministries
Adopt-A-Family
SPBTS families purchase Christmas gifts for 15-18 families in need. The names are provided by Episcopal Children Services.
Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry (BEAM)
St. Paul's by-the-Sea supports BEAM through cash donations and food drives. We also participate each year with the Back to School with BEAM shoe and clothing drive.
Cold Night Shelter
SPBTS participates with other beaches-area churches in a rotating shelter for the homeless. The shelter opens when temperatures and wind chill are in the 30’s. Volunteers monitor the shelter, serve supper, a light breakfast and make bag lunches. Persons are also needed to make and freeze chili for this ministry. Contact for Cold Night Shelter is Mike Coston.
Meals on Wheels
Every six weeks volunteers from St. Paul’s by-the-Sea take a week of delivering noontime meals to homebound individuals. Volunteers work only one day every six weeks. Contact person is Jan Rigby.
Mission House Clinic
The Mission House provides medical assistance to those unable to pay for prescriptions and doctor visits. Every Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., and Tuesdays, from 4:30-7:00 p.m., registered nurses and doctors see patients as part of the “We Care” system. Contact person is Ava Wainwright.
Soup Kitchen at Mission House
Volunteers prepare and serve supper to the homeless on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Contact persons, Pat Borno and Anne Wiggins.
Habitat
Contact: Dylan Morgan, dmorgan@trihydro.com 241-4900
St. Paul's by-the-Sea, one of the founding churches of Beaches Habitat in 1986, has continued to be a strong supporter of this exciting outreach ministry. Our most recent venture was in May and June of 2007; St. Paul’s by-the-Sea and Beaches Episcopal School, along with 11 other local churches, joined together to construct a house in Atlantic Beach. For more information on our next build, contact Dylan Morgan, or to learn more about Beaches Habitat, visit its website at beacheshabitat.org
