Joy Soup Kitchen

JOY Soup Kitchen is an interfaith ministry for which St. Paul’s volunteers make and contribute food and supplies. For over twenty years, Greenville’s JOY Soup Kitchen has been feeding over one hundred adults and children daily, Monday through Friday. St. Paul’s volunteers participate in this ministry by making sandwiches every second and fourth Monday throughout the year and delivering them to JOY Soup Kitchen. Volunteers also pick up and deliver soup provided by Chico’s Mexican Restaurant. St. Paul’s own St. Lydia’s Guild provides money raised at its quarterly Yard Sale to purchase supplies for the Kitchen.

Parish Life Ministries

“Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.”

– 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

As Christians, we acknowledge that what God has generously offered us is nothing short of life through Jesus Christ. Participating in that life means learning to generously offer our lives. Each time we gather we are presented with the opportunity to support others in recognition of God’s offerings. This support takes shape in many forms with financial gifts being the backbone that builds our church community and generates opportunities to offer our lives in our parish. All are encouraged to participate in giving money for the ministries of our parish as a sign of our share in God’s work among us and through us.

Annual commitments pledged to St. Paul’s support our operating budget, which directly supports worship, formation, community and global outreach, building and grounds, staff and other programs. Annual commitments are crucial to the work of St. Paul’s. We strive to maintain a balanced budget each year, with every dollar accounted for and put to good use in the people, places and plans of our parish.
