I met Barta Anderson at one of the first St. Paul’s Foyer Group (now called Sip, Dip and Chat) dinners in early 2016. I admired her many musical talents, sharp wit, and love for her dear dog, Scotty. I especially enjoy sitting with her whenever I can at St.

My life has forever been transformed by God’s grace and the ministries of St. Paul’ Episcopal Church in so many beautiful ways. It all began for me August 2012 – just a few short days after I arrived in Delray Beach on a one-way plane ticket from Pennsylvania to face my alcohol dependency.

RyanSt. Paul’s Episcopal Church has been my spiritual rock for as long as I can remember. It has always been a larger-than-life part of me.
My mother first brought me to Sunday School when I was two years old. My three brothers and cousins, aunts and uncles walked as a line of ducklings from our homes less than two blocks away.

RyanUnlike St. Paul, it’s hard to pin point a specific moment when my faith was awakened. I have no idea why I am so blessed, but I am. I have a most wonderful wife, two outstanding sons, a large loving family and dear friends. Patti and I will celebrate 39 years of marriage this October 7th.

My dad, Tim Kilpatrick, loves St. Paul’s. So much so that he actually left Bethesda Hospital the Sunday morning I was born to make it in time for the 9:30am service. If that doesn’t tell you his priorities I don’t know what will!

“Everybody love Lilly!” This was the prayer of Lelia Romney on her 90th birthday, surrounded by family and friends. Everyone I know does, in fact, love Lilly.

The ministry of St. Paul’s doesn’t only happen in the church or the meetings or Paul’s Place.

It also happens out in the playground and classrooms of St.
