Receiving Communion at St. Paul's
If you are a member of a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregation and wish to commune here for the first time, please see the Pastor or an Elder first. Persons who are baptized members of another denomination that is not in Altar or Pulpit fellowship are invited to come forward for a special blessing. Please, cross your arms over your heart indicating your desire to receive a blessing. Please announce for communion by indicating your intentions on the reverse side of the attendance sheet. (These will be gathered during the opening hymn.)
Landscaping Committee
The Landscaping committee has placed fresh mulch around the church flowers, plants and trees but we really need the funds to plant more bushes, flowers, and trees. If you feel so inclined would you please give to the Landscaping Fund. Contact Kathy for details.
We do thank everyone who has given funds for the Landscaping of the church grounds. We’re excited to get to work this spring.
If you’d like to volunteer to help, contact Pastor or Kathy. Thanks again!
