INTIMATE SACRAMENT:  The Lord’s Table is open and offered to all current, confirmed members in good standing of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (and churches that we are in pulpit and altar fellowship) who desire it.  This assumes we confess the oneness of the same faith, have been taught how to examine ourselves, and are truly repentant for our sins (worthily). We ask that all guests at Table at St. Paul Lutheran Church of Freeman, to please announce your intention to commune with us to the pastor or elders before the service. Oneness at Communion pre-supposes the horizontal oneness with each other in doctrine.  If you belong to a different doctrinal confession however, we invite you to come forward to receive a blessing indicated by folding your arms over your chest as you come to the rail, or remain in the pew and pray for the day when divisions would cease. Thank you for respecting our teachings. - Pastor. 

THE CHALICE IS OFFERED FIRST DURING COMMUNION, followed by the individual cups. Why? Because I want you use the chalice for your benefit- Pastor

IN YOUR PRAYERSPlease 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, Connie,  and those Additional Requested Prayers:  Kahlen, Bryan* and Sarah*.

Ascension service May 13 at 7:00pm (with Holy Communion) prayer: O Lord God, heavenly Father, You sent Your only begotten Son into our world in order to rescue us from sin, death and the devil. In His perfect life, sacrificial death, glorious resurrection and ascension into heaven, He fulfilled everything written about Him in the Law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms, thus winning for us forgiveness, life and salvation. Keep us, Your baptized children, clothed in His holiness and righteousness as His beautiful and unblemished bride. Lord, in Your merc, hear our prayer.

SUNDAY BIBLE STUDY IS MOVING from before services at 8:30 to fifteen minutes after the services have ended (approximately 10:45) on June 6th at least for the summer. Currently Sunday Morning Bible study is going through the book of Romans, but will probably join the Men's group in studying the book of Amos. Please join us.

CHECK OUT OUR NEW WEBSITE stpaulfreeman.org and let us know if you find spelling errors, have suggestions, or generally what you think of it, by sending an email to the office at stpaulfreeman@gmail.com. We'll keep using this and the other online methods (YouTube, Facebook, stpaulfreemanblogspot.com) until about Memorial Day, then switch to using our website as the main online presence.
