St. Paul's has responded generously to the needs of those who have suffered from natural disasters. In 1998, financial support and supplies of medicines, household goods, bicycles, and basic food and clothing was contributed to a Diocesan effort for relief to flood victims in Honduras. In 1999, financial support was given from outreach funds for rebuilding in Somerset County following Hurricane Floyd. Through the Community Interfaith Council of the Chathams, St. Paul s participates in church services for patients of the King James Care Center in Chatham Township. Our service is held on the fifth Thursday of the month.
Volunteers escort the patients to the dining room where the service takes place.
