The Ray of Sonshine Ministry delivered 19 plants to our shut-ins this week. The plants were lovingly potted by CIA (Christians in Action) and shared as a reminder of God’s love and the care of their church family.

During the visits, Geraldine was found busy planting tomatoes in her garden and shared how grateful she is for the kindness and support she receives from St. Paul. Jan also received her plant while her “gardener” was hard at work in the yard.

These visits were a wonderful opportunity to enjoy fellowship and celebrate the beauty of God’s creation and the new life He brings through nature.

This is also a great example of how the ministries of St. Paul work together to accomplish meaningful things. Through the combined efforts of CIA and Ray of Sonshine, a simple plant became a blessing, bringing encouragement, connection, and joy to members of our church family.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this ministry possible.

A new screen, a continued commitment to worship!
After our projector began experiencing issues, the TV from the church lounge was brought into the Multi-Purpose Room to serve as a display for our 10:30 a.m. Sunday Contemporary Service. While this is a temporary solution, it may also be the first step toward a more permanent upgrade for the future.
We are grateful for the creativity and flexibility of those who help make worship happen each week. As we continue exploring the best options moving forward, we're excited to keep providing a meaningful worship experience for everyone who attends.

Remember, St. Paul Lutheran offers three weekly worship opportunities:

⛪ Saturday Traditional Service – 5:30 p.m.
⛪ Sunday Liturgical Service – 9:00 a.m.
🎵 Sunday Contemporary Service – 10:30 a.m.

We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship as we gather around God's Word and His promises.
