When You Are In the Hospital

Please call the church so the Pastor can visit and pray with you.  Either call the church or instruct the hospital to call our church office.  Recently adopted privacy laws prohibit pastors from looking over hospital admission's lists to find the names of members.  Now the church relies entirely on you or the hospital to call the church office so we know you or someone you love is in the hospital.  Please let us know.  Thanks.

Please join Pastor Janet in the Social Room each Sunday between the services for an Adult Bible Study.  Right now they are studying the Book of Galatians.

Pentecost Sunday - June 12th

Celebrate Pentecost at St. Paul.  Red is the color of this festival Sunday.  Let's make St. Paul    aglow with RED.  Wear red and show the joy of the Spirit.  Bring a red geranium to recognize the birthday of the church.  Monday after the service, we will plant these around the church grounds to share the SPIRIT!!!!  The Spirit sends us out to bring others to Christ; so bring a friend to worship on that day.
