Dear Friends in Christ,

Here is the bulletin for my last Sunday with you, as I am moving to Danforth, IL next Tuesday (July 1). It is with mixed feelings that I say good-bye to my friends in Christ. I am excited by my new call in Danforth and I am excited by moving closer to my brother and sister. At the same time, I will miss St. Paul (and Bethlehem) and the communities. But remember, as we say good-bye, we put our trust in God. The post in the bulletin says it all. "Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply say I'll miss you until we meet again."

You can view our service (live stream or a recording) at: “BSP – June 29, 2025 – 3rd Pentecost Worship”. Next week your services will be at a different source. Following our worship, you are invited to a reception from 10:00 am to noon.

God be with you til we meet again.

Your Friend in Christ, Pastor Ron.

Dear Friends in Christ,

This week for the 2nd Sunday after the Pentecost, we will be doing a guitar service. My message is based on the second lesson from Galatians, with the text verse is Galatians 5: 13, "For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another." You can view the service at: “BSP – June 22, 2025 – 2nd Pentecost Worship”.

Next Sunday is my last Sunday at St. :Paul. So there will be some changes coming in July. The page will be changed to "Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Jacksonville". The church will continue to broadcast the worship services on that page.

The Council voted to engage Mary Jo Burger to fill the pulpit from July through September. She will also be taking over some of the pastoral duties during these months. I wish her well.

Next Sunday we will have our normal worship time, but we are inviting others to the worship. Following the service there will be a farewell reception from 10:00 am to noon. You are all invited.

Your Friend in Christ, Pastor Ron
