The MELCHER SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE has

application form. Eligible applicants
are members of St. Paul Lutheran Church who are either high school seniors or
college students. Completed forms may be

Bobbi Salis and Diane Schnabel) on or before the April 28, 2013 deadline.
SAVE
THE DATE – On
Tuesday, April 9th, St. Paul will be serving at The Banquet in Sioux
Falls. They suggest we have 40+ people
there to help serve, along with a small group that goes early to help prepare
the supper meal. Please consider being a
part of this worthwhile event. More
details will come later and a sign-up sheet will be posted on the bulletin
board.
GAMES AND PUZZLES – We will also be doing a game/puzzle
drive for The Banquet throughout March.
We are asking for new or slightly used board games, puzzles and
color/activity books. We ask if the
games or puzzles have been used that you please check to see that no pieces are
missing. The Banquet will distribute
these items at a later date but we will have someone transport them that
evening to Sioux Falls. There is a large
plastic tub in the Fellowship Hall for collecting these items.
EASTER LILY REMINDER – For those of you who are planning to
purchase an Easter lily for our altar on Easter Sunday and would like the
person’s name in the bulletin for whom the flowers are given in memory of,
please let us know as soon as possible but not later than Maundy Thursday
(March 28th). Thank you.
THE LORD’S SUPPER at St. Paul Lutheran Church is administered in accordance with
the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. It is celebrated in the confidence that we
receive – in, with and under the consecrated bread and wine – our Savior’s true
Body and Blood for the forgiveness of our sins.
All who commune at this altar are making this public confession of the
faith that we believe and teach as is written in the Holy Scriptures. If you are not a member of St. Paul Lutheran
Church and yet desire to receive the Sacrament, please speak with the Pastor
before the worship service.
Midweek Lenten Services – This year’s
Lenten season theme is “Mountains of
Faith.” A soup and sandwich supper
will be offered beginning at 5:45. All
services will begin at 7:00 p.m. Please
bring a friend as you join us for worship!
The remaining mountains that we will visit this year will be:
Wed., Mar. 20 “Mount Gerizim – A Place of Blessing”
Thur., Mar. 28 “Mount
Olivet – The Faith of Our Lord”
Fri., Mar. 29 “Mount
Calvary – Paid in Full”
ST PAUL MOVIE MATINEE at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 24th
– 12-yr
old Ted will do anything to find a real live Truffula tree in order to impress
the girl of his dreams. As he embarks on
his journey, Ted discovers the incredible story of the lorax, a grumpy but
charming creature, who speaks to trees. Come for fellowship and fun while watching Dr
Suess’ “The Lorax.”
REMINDER that March 24th is Crazy
Sunday for the students and teachers. All
those wishing to participate are encouraged to dress for “Pajama Day.” Winners will be awarded a prize and photos
will be taken of those who participate, for all to enjoy. Thank you. (s) The Board of Education
VALERA KOCH’s ADDRESS – For those who wish to send a
card to Mrs. Koch, her son asked that the cards be sent to her home address as
follows even though she is still in the hospital: 206 Pleasant Avenue North, Glencoe, MN
55336. Mrs. Koch’s husband (the late
Rev. Willard Koch) was our Pastor from August of 1962 thru June of 1967.
THRIVENT MEMBERS –
For 2013, Thrivent has made some changes to the Choice Dollar program so
you will need to designate your dollars each year. They will no longer use the RECURRING deposit
option. Richard has a flyer that he will
be handing out after the service or you may contact any of the board members
with questions.
The
