Sermon Series

Sin is Real

During the Lenten season we sing: If you think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great, Here you see its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. The season of Lent is a time to remember our sin, to repent of our sin, so that we may be refreshed and renewed at the foot of our Savior’s cross. Unfortunately, the old sinful nature in us constantly tries to downplay or minimize our sin and its ugly fruit. This year our weekend Lenten worship will help us see and understand more clearly the reality of our sin, its dark nature and its gruesome consequences.

Building Progress

Raising the Cross Pictures >Click here

We are building a large gymnasium, a commons area and two classrooms to increase our early childhood education ministry.

Construction is Almost Complete!

The Building Committee can hardly wait to show off our beautiful new building to the congregation! Construction is nearly complete. When all is done in a month or so, we will schedule a walk through for the congregation. Nothing will be scheduled in the new facility until we actually have an occupancy permit. But we aren’t far away!

Camo Quilt Project

2000 quilts have been distributed to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The St. Paul’s Quilting Fellowship meets the first Thursday of each month to make quilts that are then donated to hospitals, hospice units, or charities.  They have also been sold, with the money going to the Apache missions in Arizona. 

On Dec 3 we made quilts for the Camo Quilt Project. One of our members, Carol Kowalke got involved in this project earlier this year, and asked us if we wanted to participate.  We of course said “Yes”, and had a delightful time doing it!

These quilts are made to send to Service men and women overseas.  A woman whose son-in law was being deployed to Iraq started the project.  Hundreds of volunteers have been making these quilts since 2006.  The Camo quilt project is “stationed” in Plymouth, Wi.  A warehouse there was donated and set up to make the quilts.

The quilts are 45 x 72 inches, and they fold and roll up like a sleeping bag. They are made from official fatigue fabric and the batting and thread are 100% cotton. They protect the service men and women from the heat and harsh elements they may face.  The quilts have prayers in the hems and are sent with cards from the volunteers.

As of September 2009, about 2000 quilts have been distributed to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We made several of them last week, and they all were stitched with a prayer or Bible verse in the hem!

African Mission

Greetings from Malawi  - Q’d up & T’d off

Waiting in the truck, I remembered my Lord.  Jesus didn’t retaliate went things heated up for him. Jesus didn’t return insult for insult.  Jesus didn’t get back or get even.  He didn’t grumble or cry “unfair!”  He said no nasty words and amazingly he even kept his thoughts pure! Totally pure!

The seemingly torturous hours I waited in line were nothing to the hours of torture that Jesus endured for me - all the way to the cross!  Even though he was queued up for Golgotha He wasn’t ticked off at those who assaulted him.  On the contrary, he loved them and forgave them.

For my angry tone and indecent thoughts I had in response to being called stupid, the Spirit nudged me to apologize to the man.  I did. 

Then in return, he did, too!  He smiled a big Malawian smile.  We shook hands.   He then took his place in queue and I in mine.

My heart smiled.  Another “S” word came to mind:

Savior.

Study God's Word

Connecting Closer to Christ

St. Paul's vision is to bring every person within our area of influence closer to Christ. To accomplish that vision, each of us needs to become closer to Christ ourselves.

Contemporary Service

When: Every Sunday 11:00 a.m.

What:This service offers a different format than our traditional services. The general flow of the service is similar with a confession of sins and announcement of forgiveness, Scripture lessons and sermon, confession of faith and bi-monthly communion.

The worship is led by an ensemble of instrumentalists and vocalists rather than the organ. The atmosphere of the service is more casual. Come and celebrate God's love with us in our contemporary service or in any of our traditional services.
