Announcements

INTIMATE SACRAMENT:  We continue to celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week for those who have not been able to commune in some time, in the glad confidence and confession, that our Lord, as He says, gives not only bread and wine, but His very body and blood to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sin.  In these pandemic times, we have instituted as much as possible the physical distancing and sanitation practices to assure your physical safety, while still providing Christ for your physical/spiritual/emotional/psychological safety against sin, death, and the devil. If you do not share in this confession of our congregation and LC-Missouri Synod, or are not yet instructed, or have doubts – please speak to the pastor first. Or, you are invited to come to the rail for a blessing and meditate on God’s Word during the distribution, praying for the day when divisions will have ceased.

IN YOUR PRAYERS: Please pray for those members in area facilities: Salem-Mennonite Home, Wyona, Norbert, Marlene, Sharon, Darlene, Bob, & Eldora. Oakview Terrace, Lavonne, Orville, Millie, Bernice, Alice, Ruth and those Low Mobility at home: Susan, Harvey, Dianne, Connie, Berneita, Lonnie and those Additional Requested Prayers:  Kahlen

MAIN STREET LIVING:  This is the Life at 10:00 a.m. and Worship Service at 10:30 a.m.  See BlogSpot.

The angels appeared to the shepherds (Luke 2:8-14) in Boaz’s field (Ruth 2:3) declaring Jesus’ birth. Come along and see where this happened on The Eternal Rock Tour, at the time Main Street Living airs on your local station on Palm Sunday, March 28, 2021.

THE MELCHER/ DEWALD/ HEIN SCHOLARSHIP committee has begun accepting applications for its 2221 awards. Eligible applicants are members of St. Paul Lutheran Church who are either high school seniors or college students. Anyone who desires an application can pick one up on the bulletin board at church or contact Joan or Karen. Completed forms may be returned to Joan or Karen before the April 11, 2221 deadline

Please update your contact information for you and your family on the papers on the table in the fellowship hall. It would also be helpful if you know the contact information for anyone listed who we do not have any contact information listed.

How the Information is used. The contact information is used to stay in touch with members of St. Paul only and not sold or leased with any third party. Phone numbers are added to Calling Post (an automated voice/text message service). The email is currently used to send larger information that does not fit into Sunday bulletin publications, though the new website may have this feature as well. Mailing address information is used if we cannot connect by email or phone. If your mailing address uses a Post Office Box, it would be helpful for the Pastor to have your physical address, though he will generally not drop by unannounced. If you have any questions, or would like us to remove your information, or opt out of any of these communication methods, please contact Pastor or the office.
