IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we continue pray for Leland Zanter who has severe kidney problems and for his family. In addition, please remember the families of Rev. Terry Martin (from Mitchell) and Rev. Lowell Boettger (from Rapid City), both of whom entered into eternal Glory this last week. In his 38 years in the Holy Ministry Rev. Martin served the SD congregations in Aurora and White; he also served congregations Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota. Rev. Boettger served his 57 years in the ministry in Menno, Utica, Chamberlain, Rapid City and Hot Springs as well as churches in Iowa and North Dakota. We also continue to pray for our shut-in members, our inactive members and for at least two people in your life who don’t know Christ.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone involved in this year’s Vacation Bible School. Whether it was of prayer, time, talent or resources, everyone gave so generously. We could not have done this without all of the help we received! Thank you all so very, very much! – Lisa Anderson, Amber Sayler and Cheri Knittel.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH to everyone for the welcoming potluck dinner, pantry shower, cards and gifts last Sunday! We feel over-whelmed and we sincerely appreciate all that you have done for us these last several months to make us feel at home and to welcome us into the St. Paul family. We know that a lot of people put a lot of effort into making sure everything was just right – and it was! We have certainly been blessed by God with this Divine Call and we pray that our Lord will continue to bless and watch over all of you as He has done for so many years. (s) Pastor, Susan and Ben --- P.S.: Ben also thanks you for the dog food and treats given to him!
