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 – February 19^th: Rev. Jason Letsche of Blessed Redeemer Lutheran Church in Brandon, South Dakota presents the message, “Love, Hate, and Lex Talionis” based on Matthew 5: 38-48.  The program is interpreted and closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
