Family Hospice is looking for volunteers to visit patients.
Patient visitors provide companionship to hospice patients by listening, playing games, reading...the list is endless! Visits are tailored to reflect the needs and personalities of each patient. No experience is required; training is provided.

Family Hospice is a not-for-profit agency. We have been providing compassionate and professional care for thirty years.

Please contact Caryn at cmeder@familyhospice.org or 618 744-0681 for additional information. Thank you!

PLEASE LET US KNOW!
Due to a change in Memorial Hospital's record system, we currently are not able to find out who is in their Belleville or Shiloh locations when we call the Belleville-area hospitals each day. Please have someone (you, your family member, or a chaplain at the hospital) let us know when you are at any of the hospitals on either side of the river. Thank you!.PLEASE LET US KNOW!

 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FROM ST. PAUL UCC FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH

 

Since Covid, the most vulnerable have suffered the most. St. Vincent DePaul in East St. Louis has been using their van to transport our most needy and homeless in Belleville to their facility.

 

Good News! Our Belleville Salvation Army has opened their Sanctuary for respite on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10-12 for lunch at noon. This is where we need volunteers to sit in the sanctuary to help visit, play games, read magazines and make them feel comfortable and welcome. Please be a part of St. Paul's mission of the community. If interested or have questions please call me. I am going to volunteer one day a month. It is just 2 hours of your time that can make a difference. Contact Sandy Ritter at 222-1123 for more information.

 

Another mission opportunity is the Suds of Love sponsored by the city. The city pays the west end laundromat for the homeless to do their laundry every 4th Wednesday. If you would like to donate to this cause please make donation to the church marked Suds of Love and we will make sure it gets sent to the agency.

 

Again thank you for making a difference in our community.

 

Thank you,

Sandy Ritter

"In the Beginning"

Outreach

Driven

GO OUTSIDE THE WALLS AND SERVE

Greetings, we are excited to bring you some updates on our outreach projects. Without your support none of this would be possible. Thank you again for allowing us to serve others.

Local & Regional

We lovingly support our St. Paul Senior Community, Ecumenical Community Food Pantry, Franklin Neighborhood Association, Hoyleton services for children and Emmaus Homes for the developmentally challenged. We also support our conference DuBois Center and church-related Eden Theological Seminary.  

Nation & World

As a congregation within the United Church of Christ, we gladly support our denomination and national ministries, plus a variety of world missions through Our Church’s Wider Mission and the One Great Hour of Sharing.

Our Core Values

01)

WE BELIEVE ALL PEOPLE MATTER TO GOD and are welcome here.

God, the designer and crafter of all, created all humanity in God's own image thus making us siblings in the family of life.

02)

WE STRIVE TO BE SERVANTS in service to others.

God, the redeeming Christ, calls us to love one another as he has loved us.

03)

WE NEED CHRISTIAN EDUCATION for good faith and life.

God, the eternal spirit, nurtures us continually toward the realization of God's vision of heaven on earth.

Our Ministries

Care & Compassion

“They shall know we are Christians by our love.” We follow Jesus’ commandment to “love each other” from birth to death and blessed memory. We support baptism at any age along with staying With You through illness or in times of special need. Our With You ministry provides visitation and chore services in coordination with our pastors, who visit and officiate at weddings and funerals.

 

More

Education

“The more we know, the better it gets.” St. Paul has a historic commitment to education for all…and all ages! Children as young as two years old are served by our Mothers’ Day Out preschool. Our children and youth opportunities include crafts, classes and camping experiences plus Confirmation and music programs. Adult education is founded on the Forum, our after-worship enrichment hour that offers a variety of faith-supportive topics.

Music

It’s been said that “Music is the voice of God”. We experience this in harmony with our Chancel Choir, Women's & Men's Ensembles in addition to our Glory Ringers. We inspire our neighboring community with our Fine Arts series and long-time partnership with the Masterworks Chorale. There’s something for all ages since “God is still speaking” through our ministries of music! Click the links below for more information on our Music Ministry.
