Gentle Reader,
150 years is a long time, but its a blink of an eye in God's eternity. Come this Sunday to celebrate all that God has done in, with, and through a little church called St. Paul Lutheran over the last 150 years. Come and celebrate God's eternal love that surrounds and supports everything we do. Come see where the adventure of discipleship has brought us and where God might be calling you for the next steps of your journey. We've come this far by faith and the possibilities are still unfolding. Come what God has done and look with us into the future He is preparing. It might just change your life!
See you there!
PREACHING THIS FALL
