The Community Food Pantry began in 2009 to provide emergency food to those who are in need; in the greater Reno/Sparks area. Twice a week, we offer individuals and families once a month a three-day food supply. Since its inception, the food pantry has grown through the dedicated service of its volunteers who log 5000 volunteer hours annually. The Community Food Pantry receives its food through a partnership with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, contributions from local grocery stores and generous donations from individuals and families. Open Wednesdays 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and Saturdays from 9:00 am -11:00 am. 1135 12th Street Sparks Nevada- Behind the Sparks Library. For information on how to donate or volunteer, please call 775-391-0482

Our Prayer Team continually prays along side of those who request prayer. Luke 18:1, 6, NIV – Jesus said … always pray and (do) not give up. God will answer. James 5:13, NIV paraphrase – Anyone in trouble should pray. People who want the church to pray with them also, put the names of their special people on the Sunday Weekly Prayer List. Those who want only our Prayer Chain Team to pray, will not have their special people on the Sunday Weekly Prayer List. The names of requestors’ special people will be on one or both lists for approximately 2 months, unless they request a longer time. Names can also be put back on, as the situations change. We meet about every 4 months, after Sunday Services, to pray and update our Prayer Chain List. All new prayer requests are sent to our team by email office@stpaulssparks.org or by calling the office, 775-358-4474. We believe that Our Lord hears and answers our prayers. Blessings to all – St. Paul’s Prayer Team

Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
