IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we remember Bunne Weeman in mourning for her brother who just passed away, Mahala Peterson who fell and dislocated her shoulder last week, Joan Dreessen who had knee replacement surgery, Richard Salis who had a heart procedure done, Cheryl Walz, Arden Stern and all others recovering from surgery or illness, those in cancer treatment programs as well as our shut-in and inactive members, and at least 2 family members or friends in your life who do not yet know Christ.

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.

Main Street Living – Oct. 12^th – The featured speaker is Rev. Tim Koch of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Wecota and Concordia Lutheran Church in Cresbard.  His sermon theme will be “Jesus is No Genie.”  The program is interpreted for the hearing impaired.
