Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church:

Your Spiritual Home.

We follow Jesus, nurture ministries, and welcome all.

Rector Search:

St. Paul's is entering an exciting season of transition as we prepare to call a new rector following the retirement of The Reverend Susan Bek.

 This is a time for our community to reflect on who we are, where we feel called to go, and what gifts we hope our next rector will bring. 

We invite your prayers, your presence, and your participation as we discern together.

For more information about the transition and search process, please click here.

Prayer for Justice Grant us, Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it: a world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor; a world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them; a world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect; a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love. Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord. #stpaulsventura #prayer #ministry

This we know: the earth does not belong to us. The earth is the Lord’s and so are all its people. This we know: we did not weave the web of life. The earth is the Lord’s and so is all that breathes on it. This we know: we are called to till and work the earth. The earth is the Lord’s and so are all who work the land. This we know: that we are called to take care of creation. The earth is the Lord’s yet we have polluted and abused it. This we know: that whatever befalls the earth, Befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. This we know: that the earth is the Lord’s. And so we will serve Him in it. Amen. -Bishop Eric Pike #ministry #pray #stpaulsventura #seasonofcreation

TRUST YOURSELF TO SOAR When baby birds take their first flight, they are following their natural instincts. With wobbly legs and freshly formed wings, they leap from trees, cliffs, and ledges to experience their first taste of aerial freedom--not because they are fearless, but because their instincts tell them that they can, that it's time. When your gut tells you you're ready, don't hold back from taking a leap in your life. Let your intuition guide you and trust yourself to soar. (from "Nature Meditations" by Kenya Jackson-Saulters.) #stpaulsventura #leapoffaith #ministry #trustGod stpaulsventura.org
