IN YOUR PRAYERS:  Pray this week for; Those who are recovering from surgery, hospitalization, or sudden illnesses (Brandon, Ty, Marvin) and for those who have long term health issues and/or difficulty coming to services on their own (Orville, Connie, Bernice, Lavonne, Lorna, Melton, Millie, Ruth, Alice, Marlene, Norby, Sharon, Wyona, Lucille).

HOLY COMMUNION is celebrated in our worship service today.  What a joy and privilege!  In this Sacrament our Lord gives unto us not only bread and wine, but also His very body and blood to eat and drink.  In this Sacrament He assures the repentant sinner that our sins are forgiven and He strengthens our faith.  To our guests who desire to receive Holy Communion at our family meal, we ask that you please refrain from receiving the Sacrament until you have spoken to the Pastor, but are always encouraged to come to the altar for a blessing, indicated by folding the arms over the chest.  We do this not to offend, but to honor the faith we hold dear at St. Paul Lutheran and our sister pulpit/altar fellowship congregations. If you have any questions regarding communion, please pick up a booklet titled: A Simple Explanation of Holy Communion by the guestbook, or call the pastor to arrange a time to meet.

MAIN STREET LIVING: This is the Life at 10:00 and Worship Service at 10:30. See bulletin board for monthly schedule
