THE SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
8:30 am Traditional Worship
10 am Contemporary Worship



Gentle Reader,
Mothers.  We all have one.  Some of us have more than one, some of us are one.  The role of mother is never easy.  It can be one of the most rewarding relationships for parent and child, but it's never easy or without deep longings and frustrations.  But in the midst of it all, we have a God whose caring arms embrace each mother and child.  Come this Sunday and hear of this love that reaches beyond our limitations and expectations.  It may just change your life!

ST. PAUL LUTHERAN SUPPORTS FOOD MINISTRIES.

Every 3rd Saturday of the month, we partner with Family Pathways and convert our fellowship hall into a wide variety of healthy foods for local families.

We are so thankful for everyone that drops off an item or two; maybe a bag assortment of non-perishable foods.  Please continue to give when you can, as the need is always there and the Family Pathway's resources are being spread more thin, as the need continues to grow.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE THIS EVENT WORK
Please sign up in the Narthex . 

Our next Saturday is May 19th.  This is also a great service project for girl scouts and boy scouts.  It is a very rewarding  2-3 hours.  This act of  sharing Christ's Love with joy will help you see the need being fulfilled by the generosity of many.

Saturday, May 19th 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Freewill offering
Refreshments will be served

From the nightclub scene to stardom opportunities, Mary Hall found the only way to peace and happiness was by following the path that God has chosen for her life.
That choice led to performing with a new purpose. She will tell her story!

With a smooth vocal range of nearly three octaves and unique guitar style, Mary Hall has created a wonderful concert experience for all ages.

This is one concert YOU won't want to miss!
