6-17-2018 Announcements

IN YOUR PRAYERS - this week please remember those who are recovering from surgery and illness, those in cancer treatment programs, our shut-in and inactive members and at least 2 family members or friends in your life who do not know Christ as they could, that they would accept the invitation to come to Church with you to hear God's Word preached in its purity, and see the Sacraments rightly administered.

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.

THANK YOU, whoever gave out a printed service to my mother and brother who visited last Sunday.  They mentioned that they did not want to sit up front, as they did not know when to stand, sit, what page to be on, and so on, so they wanted to sit back a ways to watch what to do by observing the people in front of them, but with the printed service however, they thought they could have sat in front.  It was all there!  This is exactly what these printed services are for; those who struggle with handling the heavy hymnal or who are unfamiliar without liturgical practices.  Thanks again for your good work anonymous member! - Pastor
