St. Paul's Episcopal Church

For over forty years St. Paul’s Episcopal Church has held the Lobster Boil, an annual fundraising event that supports both the church and the surrounding community. As a part of our tradition, half of the proceeds of the Lobster Boil are donated to local social service organizations that directly help people who are in need. On Friday, April 29, 2011, ten local social service organizations were awarded close to $500 each, including: 4-C, DeKalb County American Red Cross, Love In the Name of Christ, Safe Passage, Hope Haven, Voluntary Action Center, Family Service Agency, DeKalb County Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, and DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center Auxiliary. These organizations address the diverse issues our community faces (i.e. homelessness, poverty, abuse, crisis) with thoughtfulness and compassion, and St. Paul’s is proud to support them. This year’s Lobster Boil was held on Saturday, May 21.
