St Andrew Lutheran Church-Paint Creek

St Andrew Lutheran Church-Paint Creek We are located East of McDade (7 miles) and North of Paige (7 miles). St Andrew celebrated 100 years of Service to God in April 2012.

On April 14, 1912 the church was officially organized under the leadership of Missionary Pastor Hugo Krienke. It was named St Andrew Lutheran Church of Paint Creek and twelve families signed the constitution and church was held once a month. Today, services are at 10am with Pastor Lee Eschberger and Willard Rother serving the congregation. Pastor Lee usually has the first two Sundays with Communio

n and Rother the last two Sundays. 5th Sundays are rotated between the two and is followed by a delicious pot luck dinner with fellowship and often with music. Visitors are always welcome.

Our Christmas program was very well attended. There were numerous new faces that came to hear the Christmas story that was portrayed by our young people. A very special thanks to the various musicians and for all those who contributed to the Christmas bags.

The quilt making will start Tuesday, Jan 6, at 9AM. Volunteers are most welcome. Great news, last year LWR expanded its Quilt & Kit Ministry to include the U.S. since we have been hit with devastating fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit the east coast, more than 60,000 quilts and 76,000 essential kits were distributed to six states. Within 12 hours after the history Central Texas flash flood, LWR quilts and kits were in the hands of those who needed them most. Quilts were also sent to California after the fires.

Welcome to Carl Dahlstrom as our newest member to the church family.

Prayers for Randy Copeland as he heals from his recent knee replacement surgery.
