Transfer your membership to St. Paul’s
We are inviting people who join us for worship to consider membership in our church. For those of you who have been members at another church, this journey involves several steps. First, you are invited to contact May Bilash in the office (306 873 2424) to express your interest in becoming a member of St. Paul’s United Church. Secondly, the minister will call to arrange church office or home visit. During this contact, there will be the opportunity to prepare a brief biography (a paragraph or two). There will be a pre-membership party which will be followed days later with introductions and welcoming in a service of worship. All those being introduced in the worship service will be invited forward individually to stand together and bios will be read as people come forward. The congregation will stand and welcome you. We look forward to welcoming you to the St. Paul’s family.
