PERSONAL NOTE FROM PASTOR:  I would just like everyone to know how impressed I am with all those who helped with Vacation (Vocation) Bible School this past week.  I talked them into new material, so it was different than what they were used to, so after a rocky start, they stepped up to the challenge and taught the kids God's Holy Word (including the Ten Commandments! - but especially, that Christ died for you!)  Thanks be to God for the saints that risked their sanity to teach those young Christians, and also thanks be to God for His gracious gift revealed in the little ones who come to Him.  If you know of someone who helped with VBS, please thank them on behalf of a member of the congregation of St. Paul, Freeman. Solo De Gloria.

LADIES AID and LWML will not meet in August.  Cheri Knittel  is on Altar Flowers for August and Visiting Helper is open.
