01/20/08: We are selling our property - church and office building - to the Covenant Soup Kitchen. St. Paul's founded the Soup Kitchen and Isaiah 58 Ministry in 1981 and the Soup Kitchen has been housed in St. Paul's lower level ever since.
Official permission for the sale has been received from the Diocese, and the formal contract with the Soup Kitchen was signed on 07/11/08. Signing started a 90 day Due Diligence Period so the closing is expected to be in early October. As part of the agreement, St. Paul's will have continued use of the church and an office there for five years, with extension of that use anticipated for a second five years.
The sale will relieve financial pressure on St. Paul's, and it will give the Soup Kitchen a sure home and more opportunity to strengthen and expand its mission.
St. Paul's intends to continue following whatever opportunities for ministry arise. We expect that our relationship with the Soup Kitchen will become even closer. We will continue to trust that longer term survival will be found in those ministries – essentially we've taken Matthew 6*, and its message to trust Providence, to heart!
