What a beautiful morning spent together slowing down, sharing hearts, and remembering the importance of rest in God’s presence. 💛

In a world that never stops, we were reminded that true peace doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from trusting God more and doing things for His glory.

Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who joined us for our Breaking Busy devotion and discussion last Thursday morning. The discussion and encouragement was such a blessing!

Let’s keep finding moments this week to pause, breathe, and rest in His love. ✨

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

Join us for a morning of fellowship, faith and friendship! St. Paul's is starting a women's Bible study at Country Gourmet (132 W Washington, Napoleon) on Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 am, and continuing the 1st Thursday of every month. Come at 6:45 am to grab your coffee and mingle before the study begins. This will be more of a devotional, open-discussion Bible study style and should be finished around 7:30 am. Come share in God's Word and start your day with coffee, encouragement and community. All women are welcome - and bring a friend if you'd like!

Tonight (Monday, Nov. 3) and tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov. 4) begins a new 5-week Bible Study. You can join us on Mondays at 7:00 pm or Tuesdays at 10:00 am (or a combination of both).

As Christians, witnessing seems like such a difficult thing! We fret over saying the right thing, or how we react, or what others will think. But here’s the kicker – you CAN share your faith with anyone God allows us to meet; it may be intimidating, but it gets easier the more we do it! To aid us, we will have a 5-week Bible study beginning on Nov. 3 and ending on Dec. 2. The study has a book that we will follow named, 5 Things You Can Do to Witness Christ, and you can pick up in the church office. Please note – this resource isn’t a ‘how to witness’ course but learning how God equips us to witness through all aspects of life. Hope to see you there!

2 weeks ago, we postponed due to weather - but God provided an amazing day for 18 of us to get together at Goll Woods State Preserve! It was a blessed time to exercise, and have fellowship in the midst of God's beautiful creation.

Stay tuned in the future; more hikes to come!

For us all, whether you reflect today(the appointed day), or tomorrow in church:

On All Saints’ Day, we celebrate not only the saints who have gone before us, but also the hope that we share with them. We are united with the saints in Christ, both the living and the dead, and together we anticipate the fulfillment of the promises God has made to His people. We, too, will one day stand before the throne, clothed in Christ’s righteousness, joining the saints in the eternal worship of the Lamb.

This hope is not a wishful thinking, but a sure and certain confidence, based on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because He lives, we too will live. Because He has triumphed over sin, death, and the devil, we also share in His victory. We are the saints — not because of anything we have done, but because of everything Christ has done for us. A blessed All Saints' Day to you all!

Today we had Confirmation rehearsal and Secret Prayer Partner reveal. A Secret Prayer Partner is assigned to each student when they start Catechism in 6th grade. For a little over 2 years, these volunteers write their student notes, give them gifts, candy, and little treats to let them know someone is thinking about them and praying for them. They are revealed at the luncheon hosted by church council held in their honor. Please remember these 11 confirmands as they prepare for Confirmation on Sunday, Oct. 26 at the 10:30 service. Everyone is welcome to attend.
