St. Paul's has a newly minted tradition to share prayers and distribute ashes to many visitors as a way to enter into the Lenten Season. Thank you Church Mouse Thrift Store for hosting! What a wonderful way to observe Ash Wednesday.
St. Paul proudly presents its pollinator garden.
The garden was a collaboration between the church, its Church Mouse thrift store, the Lower Shore Land Trust and the community of Berlin, which is one of 12 municipalities in Maryland and 183 nationwide with a Bee City USA designation.
A special thanks to parishioner Helen Wiley who led the effort from its initial idea to its completion.
A special thanks to Rev. Carl Mosley for leading the service and blessing of the pollinator garden on June 2, 2024.
St. Paul's church family went out into the beautiful Historic Downtown Berlin to invite and welcome community members to prayer and receiving Ashes on Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday begins the Lenten Season in the Liturgical Year; a time of prayer, almsgiving and self-reflection. All are welcome!

Fun, fellowship and food!! A delicious meal together with family and friends.
St. Paul's joined forces with Preservation Maryland and The Campaign for Historic Trades on November 5th to provide a free workshop on how to restore and preserve historic cemetery stones.. The turnout was a huge success as parishioners and guests alike learned valuable information on the care of historic sites. Many of the tombstones and headstones in St. Paul's cemetery date back to the early 1800's when the church was built.
St. Paul's hosted a free Photography Session Workshop on November 8th. The workshop was held after dark to give photographers the opportunity to practice night-shooting, especially on a full-moon night. Also, the night session provided a perfect setting for photographing the new lighting on the church's bell-tower. A great turnout! Thank you, Dave, for putting this together.
