🎶 Welcome, Miss Erika Johnson! 🎶

Yesterday, we had the joy of welcoming Miss Erika Johnson, music teacher at Central Lutheran School, into our St. Paul church family and celebrating her Commissioning & Installation during worship.

We are thankful God has brought Erika to our community and look forward to seeing how He will work through her gifts as she serves our students and families.

Please join us in giving Erika a warm St. Paul welcome and keeping her in your prayers as she begins this new chapter of ministry! ❤️🙏

Welcome, Erika! We’re so glad you’re here!

Small stitches can make a BIG difference!

Thanks to your generous donations of school supplies, we have enough supplies to fill at least 35 backpacks for Lutheran World Relief! Now we need some helping hands to make the backpacks that will carry those supplies to children who need them.

Join us for one—or both—of our Backpack Sewing Nights!

📅 Tuesday, September 15 and/or Tuesday, September 22
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 St. Paul Gar Creek Lutheran Church

Experienced at sewing? Wonderful! 🪡 Never sewn a backpack before? Come anyway! We’d be happy to help you get started. Just bring your sewing machine and a willingness to serve.

These simple drawstring backpacks become part of school kits sent through Lutheran World Relief, helping give children the supplies they need and the opportunity to attend school.

💙 Sew. Serve. Give Hope.

Many hands make light work - and we’d love to have yours! Invite a friend and join us.

🥔 Throwback Thursday! ❤️

This week we’re reaching back into the old church cookbook for Jane Hockemeyer’s Potato Salad - one of those classic recipes that belongs at a church potluck, family reunion, or backyard cookout!

With Labor Day weekend here, it might be the perfect time to bring an old favorite back to the table. ❤️ Who remembers enjoying Jane’s potato salad?
