“Little Food Pantry”
Our Ministry Partners
“Little Food Pantry”
City Service Mission (Formerly “Center for Student Missions”) is an opportunity for students to offer their time, energy and sweat to support these indigenous “ministry sites.” CSM plugs students and chaperones into a variety of hands-on ministry opportunities to ensure that the time in the city is spent supplying substantive help to God’s people in the city.
Good News Home for Women
2019 GNH Fellowship & Giving Heart Award
Good News Home for Women is a Christian residential program for women recovering from substance abuse. The 3rd Wednesday of every month is our night to provide “Creative Therapy” and we always need volunteers to teach a craft/skill/project that these 12 women can take away with them as a possible talent or simply a fun, loving memory. Sign up at the Welcome Desk in the lobby of the church or contact Karen Brooks at kabrooks@aedo.net.
Habitat for Humanity
Provides houses for those less fortunate here in Bridgewater, NJ. H4H is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian Ministry founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live.
The Appalachia Service Project Mission Trip is scheduled on July 13-20, 2019. St. Paul joins 65+ teenagers (age 14+) and chaperones from local churches on this amazing, life-changing mission trip.
ASP (www.asphome.org) identifies families of greatest need and makes their homes warmer, safer, and drier.
St. Paul members pay only a $150 deposit and the remaining $400 will be covered by St. Paul.

Flemington Food Pantry
Hi Everyone at St. Paul,
The clients at the Flemington Area Food Pantry are very grateful for the supplemental food they receive. Among some of the comments are:
“I don’t know what I would do without the food I get here. Food stamps just aren’t enough.”
“Thanks so much for all this food. It means a lot to me to be able to get good food for my family. Someday I hope I can give back. I’m in a bad way now. Thank you.” – client
