MAIN STREET LIVING – March 3, 2019: 10:30 AM - Reverend Eric Obermann of Our Savior Lutheran in Hill City and Our Redeemer Lutheran in Custer brings the message ”Listen to Him” which is based on Luke 9:35.  The program is interpreted and closed captioned for the hearing impaired.  For more information go to the web site: www.mainstreetliving.com

SERVICE TIME CHANGE, starting March 3rd.  Due to Pastor serving vacancy for Menno/Scotland, the Voter's Assembly decided to move service times on Sundays to 9:00am from 9:30am for a time.  As you invite your friends, family, and neighbors to join you, please tell them that they may hear the Word preached in its truth and purity, and see the Sacraments rightly given, a half hour earlier!

 

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help with flowers on the Altar, if you are willing to furnish flowers, put them on the Altar and then remove them after the service please sign the sheet on the bulletin board in the fellowship hall. We need volunteers for these months, June, July and August.

We also NEED A FEW VOLUNTEERS to go and visit with our members that are at the Salem Home for the Aged, the Nursing Home and also some that are still in their own homes but unable to be out and about anymore. If you are willing to be a Visiting Helper, please sign the sheet on the bulletin board; the months available are February and August of 2019 and February 2020.

IF YOU, OR YOUR GROUP would like the host a meal before midweek services, please see the bulletin board to sign up.  As of this printing, we only have April 3rd available.

THRIVENT DOLLARS - We, the Thrivent Committee of St Paul's, are reminding you that you need to direct your Thrivent Choice Dollars every year before March 1st. Without  your individual directive, Thrivent chooses which non-profit organization receives your money. We hope that you will either call or go online to designate our church as the recipient of those funds to benefit our needs here at home. 1-800-847-4836 or thivent.com  Thank you!

 

MISSION/MINISTRY OF THE MONTH IS The SALEM MENNONITE HOME.  While not a  mission/ministry we support with our (St. Paul) budget, or a Registered Service Organization (RSO) of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, it is a local non-profit assisted living organization that many of our members reside (currently seven from St. Paul).  As you may have read in the newspaper, they have new plans for the future and are invited to tell you those plans on the 24th after services.  Again, as the mission/ministry focus for the month, a free-will basket will be placed at the window of the kitchen if you are so moved to donate and will be sent to them at the end of the month. – Pastor
