ST. PAUL’S EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH’S MISSION STATEMENT:
We, the members of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran congregation are here to share the truth of God's Word. We use the message of Christ to nurture one another that we might be equipped to spread the message of Christ to all people.
Bring the Kids! Our congregation enjoys the “worshipping family”. Children who act up are not viewed as a bother to worship. We’re glad they’re here!
However, if you feel the need, a “comfort room” for parents with small children is available complete with speakers and a window looking into the worship area. Please find this room to your right when entering the narthex from the
sanctuary or ask an usher for assistance. You will also find children’s church bags, a diaper changing station, a restroom, and age appropriate books there.
Mission Prayer – Refuge Ev. Lutheran Church, Durham, N.C. – Jesus, our Loving Shepherd, we pray that you continue to gather your people in the Durham, N.C., area to be nurtured by your good news in Word and sacraments at the new home mission called Refuge Lutheran Church. Bless Pastor Doug Lange and the core group as they connect with the people you put in their lives. Give them hearts like yours to listen and empathize, to offer hope and to pray, as they hear about people’s struggles. We also ask, Lord, that through the synod’s “100 Missions in 10 Years” campaign many more home mission churches may be started across North America to bring more souls to heaven through your saving message. May your kingdom come, dear Savior! Amen.
Funeral – It has pleased our Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, to summon from this vale of tears to Himself in heaven the soul of our sister in Christ, Lorraine Rucks. The memorial service for Lorraine was held here in our church at 11 a.m. this past Wednesday. The length of her earthly pilgrimage was 99 years, 9 months, and 13 days. Interment was at Arlington Public Cemetery.
Mission Society will be having a short meeting in the council room after church on Sunday, June 11th.
JULY CALENDAR INFORMATION DUE JUNE 8 – Due to vacations in July the information for July’s calendar is needed earlier than usual for the newspaper.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BIBLE CLASS will meet this week on Wednesday, June 7. The topic that day will be “Miracles, Signs, Wonders.” We also preview the readings for the following Sunday by talking about the context and other pertinent information. We meet in the Council room at 2:00pm. Feel free to join us!
FAMILY EVENT – Family Bible Night will be held Wednesday, June 14, 5:45-7:30 pm. Come and enjoy some family time, grilling, and arts & crafts at St. Paul’s Church. Sign up in the narthex to help with serving the meal.
