Gentle Reader,
We did not choose God, but God chose us!  First to make us and then to claim us in his love and carry us with Him into eternity!  It's spring time, and nature is giving us a witness to God's love!  Come make the joy of the season complete by worshiping our Lord and abiding the love of God and one another!  It may just change your life!
Please pick up your Quarterly Giving Statement, in the Narthex.  Thank you.

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.

Please come and volunteer at this event when you can.  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!
