Welcome all visitors! Please feel free to make use of our Visitor Centre in the gathering area. There you can sign the guest book and find United Church pamphlets, bookmarks and information.

Kids Space
St. Paul’s is a child friendly space. There is a nursery area upstairs for youngsters and also a small play space in the gathering area for children who would appreciate a ‘break away’ room during the worship service. If there is anything else you need, please speak to an usher.
