St. Paul’s is the oldest congregation south of St Augustine, with the first service held in the County Courthouse on Christmas Day 1832. Since that time, three churches have been built on the property and all were destroyed by hurricanes and fire. The first service in the current (fourth) structure was in June 1919, and installation of the 120 stained glass windows began in 1920. St Paul’s continues to restore and enhance the worship space and grounds. The pews are currently being restored, repaired and refurbished, and the grounds have undergone major improvements with a new parking lot, new lighting and a beautiful labyrinth and sitting area. Efforts are underway to provide for restoration of the stained glass windows. The church doors are open every day and there are more than 250,000 guests signing our visitor book annually. St. Paul’s is also host to concerts and many other community events. The church community is proud of the church and hope you will enjoy your time here.

    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE DIOCESE OF SOUTHEAST FLORIDA www.episcopalsouthflorida.org VolumeVolume 40 40 No. No. 3 3 June June 2009 2009 Diocese explores creative solutions for struggling churches By Mary W. Cox, editor “We want to save our churches, not close them,” Archdeacon Thomas Bruttell told the congregation at Church of the Resurrection on Pentecost. His words echoed a statement by Bishop Leo Frade at the forum on “The Future of Black Congregations” a day ear- lier: “There is no plan to close churches!” At a time when changing demograph- ics and economic decline are threatening the survival of many smaller congrega- tions of all denominations, the Diocese of Southeast Florida is committed to helping its struggling churches find creative ways to thrive and grow. The Nehemiah Process, now in its sev- enth year, has involved more than 50 con- gregations in a transformational process of discernment, training and implementation of a ministry plan for congregational growth. As a direct result of this process, in the past six months three congregations that had been on mission status (receiving aid and/or assessment reduction from the diocese) have become self-supporting. In February the Executive Board approved Photo by C. M. Guerrero/El Nueveo Herald the restoration of Todos los Santos, Miami, to parish status, and in May, All REBIRTH AT CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION Saints’, Jensen Beach, and All Souls’, A standing-room-only congregation helps Church of the Resurrection, Biscayne Park, celebrate Pentecost.
