A Message from Pastor Grant Applehans
Gentle Reader,
Jonah was a man.  A well established man.  A man with a plan.  But God's plans were bigger... 
 Come hear of Jonah's adventures and the grace of God that goes beyond our expectations and imagination!  God cares for you - come and hear just how much!

Our fourth and final Generosity Sunday for 2017 is fast approaching.
It is our sincere hope that  these special Sundays have been a blessing to you as you seek to be good stewards of all that God has given you.  

We thank you for the response so far. On Generosity Sundays this year, we received well over $12,000!  

Please join us as we celebrate all that has been accomplished because of this extra giving.   We will have one service at 9:00 and a brunch hosted by Loaves and Fishes immediately following.   This day we will also return our pledge cards for 2018 and stretch ourselves for Generosity Sunday.

TAKING CARE OF GOD'S HOUSE

... just as God takes care of the bird's of the air, we too should take care of His house.
Saint Paul Lutheran feels so blessed to have His house, one we can commune in, educate. prepare for giving, and share with community.

This is a friendly reminder asking everyone who uses the church to honor it with your greatest of care.  Please help keep electrical costs down by making sure all the lights are turned off.  To keep His house safe, please double-check that all doors are located and all Fire Doors are shut tight.
And finally ... just as He asks that we put all our trust in Him ...
We trust you will leave His house as Clean and Blessed as you found it.

God Bless ... and Thank you!
