Every parishioner has a story, and every story offers a glimpse into the heart of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. In this new series, we're sharing the experiences of the people who call our parish home and the ways God is at work in their lives and in our community.

For nearly 50 years, St. Paul’s has been woven into the life of Don and Marilyn Wools and their family. It has been the place where they worship, serve, celebrate milestones, and watch new generations grow. Two of their daughters were married here, followed by a grandson and granddaughter. Today, their great-grandchildren are among the youngest voices heard on Sunday mornings.

Home has meant many places for Jill Clotfelter throughout her life. She was born and raised in Idaho before spending several years living overseas as an international educator where she met her husband, McClain. In 2022, they returned to the United States and settled in Columbus to be closer to family. However, one thing was missing: a church home.

"We didn't church-search at all. We chose St. Paul's because I love the Episcopal Church," Jill says. "Our church is a sweet church, and I've been so excited about its growth over the years."
