"...
t
he One who came to reveal the "good news of great joy that will be for all the people."" (Luke 2:10)
Gentle reader,
Happy new year! It's a new calendar year and our first Sunday celebration in January will be full of new things. A new band, a new experiment in unity, and new approaches to familiar themes. God is also up to something new in our lives and in the readings . Wiseman come with curiosity. Others dread the change. Regardless, God is on the move, and what he is up to will be for all and beyond everyone's expectations! Come and hear the good news of God's unwavering love for each of us. It may just change your life!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Pastor Grant

I want to thank the congregation of SPLC for honoring all my years of service in the music ministry with a plaque and an Applebee's gift card. This, along with the cake and "Thank you" reception in the narthex afterward, were very meaningful to me and much appreciated. I am truly honored to have served for many years through singing and directing at St. Paul Lutheran.
Thank you so much for all you do to help things run as smoothly as possible. Have a blessed winter season in the warmth of God's love.

Who's Who in the Pews?
Starting with our first Sunday in the New Year, SPLC will begin using
Who's Who in the Pews.
A clipboard will be placed in each Pew. Every individual and family will write down their name and whether they will commune during worship.
This NEW process
will not replace our usher counts, but will provide members and visitors the opportunity to let us know if they have current needs with prayers, visits, membership, or other requests found through the form.
This process will also assist the church in gathering pertinent information for annual reporting to the Synod.
Who knows? It may even provide some new ways to get to know each other and share stories of our Christian Faith.
We appreciate everyone's compliance with the process beginning in January.
