ANNOUNCEMENTS

We Welcome Everyone …
… in the Name of Jesus, our crucified and risen Lord and Savior, especially those who are worshiping with us for the first time. Please sign our guest book and accept our invitation to worship with us again!

THANK YOU FROM THE BORGLUMS: Thank you so much for the incredible welcome and hospitality shown to us these last several days! To all who helped on our day of arrival and to all who worked beforehand to get the parsonage ready for us, we appreciate everything that you have done. And, of course, thank you so much for the coordination and work done for last Sunday’s Installation service, the reception that followed as well as the many cards and gifts. We know that many people and a lot of time and effort went into making the service and reception so wonderful and so well done. In everything, you have gone out of your way for us and we truly appreciate it! This congregation is certainly blessed by our Lord through your efforts and your faith is shown in your many good works! Thank you and may God continue to look upon you with favor and give you His peace. (s) Pastor Borglum, Susan and family

The awesome pot-luck dinner, the beautiful floral arrangement, the Lord's Prayer clock from the congregation, the beautiful cake, the many cards expressing your thanks for the services for the past year and the many gifts we received are all so much appreciated. In so many ways you have made our service at St. Paul's a wonderful joy and a great privilege. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Pastor and Janet Kramer
