St. Paul Lutheran Church

We are a small but mighty church that is lovingly fervent about bridging people to Jesus. We are passionate about community, family and friendships.

We are about help, healing, hope and sharing the Bible. We are worshiping again in person on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Sunday at 11 AM. A worship video will be available on the 4th Sunday via YouTube. YouTube worship links are always posted on Facebook. We look forward to seeing you!

ST. PAUL’S EASTER SEASON ACTIVITIES. Easter celebrates our new life through faith in Jesus’ resurrection. Close to 500 plastic, candy-filled eggs were hidden on the playground early Easter morning for the Egg Hunt. Eggs were a variety of colors based on Jesus’ Life and ministry. Some were lamb-shaped because Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The Easter Children’s Program included a Message, “Where do Easter Eggs Come From?” and singing with dancing. After the Egg Hunt, Easter Crafts were offered in Fellowship Hall. The Life Cycle of the Butterfly was used to help children understand Jesus’ resurrection during weekday school chapels in late April and during the Gathering Worship Service, a 30 minute, interactive, joyful, family-friendly service, on April 26 at 9am.

A SNOWY BAPTISM. As the snow continued to fall, just over 20 family members and church friends made their way to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church for Logan’s Baptism last Sunday. Logan Alexander Poliey, born Aug 29, son of Keith & Emily Poliey, little brother of Nicole (a St. Paul’s Christian Day School 3-year-old), and Grandson of Tom & Ellen Smith, received the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on January 18. The Baptism Liturgy came early in the worship service, which included Holy Communion, contemporary and traditional songs, and readings offered by Grandfather Tom Smith and Uncle and Godparent TJ Smith. We also enjoyed a Special Coffee Hour in Logan’s honor following the service in Fellowship Hall. An intimate, memorable and special time!

CHRIST MASS CANDLELIGHT SERVICE. We celebrated the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World, at 4:30pm on December 24 with a festive, traditional candlelight Holy Communion Service. Our beautifully decorated sanctuary, beloved Christmas Carols, adult and children’s sermons, special music, and candlelight singing of “Silent Night” renewed our stress-weary souls. May Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace be born anew in our lives and world in 2026.

THE CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PAGEANT was held on Dec 21 during St. Paul’s 11:00 am Worship Service.
