Saturday night services will continue at 5:30 p.m. We will carpool from the church and travel to the beach property at 6:30 p.m. The service and time of fellowship will last from 7:00-9:00 p.m. If there is rain, we will reschedule.

St. Paul Ev. Lutheran Church is an amazing place of growth and opportunity. Three sons and a daughter of St. Paul are exploring the possibility of serving as a Pastor in the ELCA. Scott, Phil, Jared and Danielle ask for your prayers as they continue their journey into God’s future. We rejoice that Jared and Danielle have the opportunity to lead worship on Sunday. If you are interested/feel called to serve in this capacity, please speak with Pastor John.
Next weekend we will collect the noisy offering for the Boys and Girls Club, so bring your change!
Pastor John and Nena are inviting you to come to their house (1921 Long Rapids Road) for a fireside chat on Sunday, July 27th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. We will sit by the firepit near the river (or in the house or gazebo) and talk about life, hope, grace and the love of God (no agenda). This is a gift from Nena and I, so nothing is required to be part of this experience. Come for 15 minutes or for 2 hours.
