Receiving Communion at St. Paul's
If you are a member of a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregation and wish to commune here for the first time, please see the Pastor or an Elder first. Persons who are baptized members of another denomination that is not in Altar or Pulpit fellowship are invited to come forward for a special blessing. Please, cross your arms over your heart indicating your desire to receive a blessing. Please announce for communion by indicating your intentions on the reverse side of the attendance sheet. (These will be gathered during the opening hymn.)
Landscaping Committee
The Landscaping committee would like to place fresh mulch around the church flowers, plants and trees but we really need the funds to do so. If you feel so inclined would you please give to the Landscaping Fund. Contact Kathy for details.
We do thank everyone who has given funds for the Landscaping of the church grounds. We’re excited to get to work this spring.
If you’d like to volunteer to help, contact Pastor or Kathy. Thanks again!

Dear Co-Witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ:
Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise? Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. (Psalm 106:2-3)
Re: gifts to Enoch and Kristin Petersen
And Rev. Kip and Ivy Hoech
God wants all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth. His Son’s death and resurrection, sufficient for all, was necessary even if only for one. Your two sacrificial gifts is a clear witness to the truth that our heavenly Father is a loving God! Your Synod continues in the vital work of vigorously making known that love in word and deed, all over the world. We continue to pray for you and give thanks for you as you share your faith with the world through us.
In service to our Lord, Jesus Christ,
Mark D. Hofman, Executive Director
Mission Advancement.
