St. Paul’s United Church
Our Mission: Glorifying God through Worship, Proclaiming the Gospel of Christ and Serving Others in Christ’s name.
The world will celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd! People from all over the world will come together and take social action on small and large scale local and worldwide projects.
Earth Week, celebrated from April 16th through 22nd, is a time to think about how you can invest in our plant, raise awareness and advocate for change on environmental issues impacting earth, and prevent further damage to the planet and its resources by making small lifestyle changes.
How will you support a sustainable, happy, healthy world? Clean up your neigbourhood, plant a tree, reduce your plastic consumption, participate in advocacy to local officials, create sustainable fashions, educate others about the importance of environmental action? Every action you take, big or small, has a lasting impact and leaves the earth a better place for generations and centuries to come.

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” ~ Jane Goodall
