We use the word “formation” to name the fact that what we do when we engage our Christian faith isn’t simply an intellectual exercise, but a daily practice—one that takes place over a lifetime. We are formed into whom we are called to be as we study, pray, and live out our faith together.
In addition to Sunday worship services, we have an online daily Morning Prayer offering through Facebook Live. During the seasons of Advent and Lent, we hold contemplative Wednesday evening services in our Chapel. Our adult studies take the form of Sunday Forums, book groups, movie nights, and special offerings sponsored by various ministries.
Sunday Forums and Other Formation Opportunities
October 2025 Series: Love Your Immigrant Neighbors
God has stirred us up at St. Paul’s to love our neighbors, and for years we’ve had a special ministry to love our neighbor immigrants and migrant workers. Our lives in Cary are supported by our immigrant neighbors, and now, more than ever, they need our understanding of their situation and spirited support. This October St. Paul’s is offering a series of formation programs to help us understand our immigrant neighbors, what they face, how God is with them in a special way, and what we can do to support them. Come to grow in active love of neighbor.
- Sunday, Oct 12, Isaac Villegas, pastor and author of “Migrant God,” will preach at the two later services and offer the Sunday Forum in the Chapel from 10:15-11 a.m. The forum presentation will focus on Christians who are putting hope into action, bearing witness to the work of solidarity among people with and without US citizenship. Isaac’s biblical, theological, and political reflections will prod our imagination as we consider a holistic vision for life in solidarity with migrant neighbors.
- Monday, Oct 13, 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall: Siembra ICE Verification Training at St. Pauls. This verifier training enables community members to verify if ICE is undertaking a raid or other local action so that accurate real-time information (vs. rumors) can be communicated to neighbors in our community who may feel vulnerable to ICE action. This helps people in these communities go about their daily lives, going to work, taking their children to school, going to church. Please register in advance here.
- Sunday Oct 19, 10:15 – 11 a.m. in the Chapel: Sunday Forum with immigration lawyers Meghan Deutsch Blanco and Alice Glover. Come to learn about what life is like now for those seeking to regularize their status and become citizens.
