Congregational Meeting

MARCH 2ND

The 136th annual congregational meeting will be held following worship on Sunday, March 2nd.

The consistory will be recommending modifications in the designing, planning and implementations of the ministries that St. Paul’s does.

Our mission is to bring God’s love to the heart of the community. How is God’s love being brought to you, your family, and your community? How is St. Paul’s church meeting your needs? How can you help meet the needs of your church family and help us fulfill our mission?

SEEKING 20 RECRUITS
The ministry teams of our church, which are, church and family, education, spiritual life and property each need a minimum of 5 members to help. These 5 recruits along with the 4 consistory members on each ministry team will provide the leadership needed in planning and implementing ministry that will bring glory to God and benefit the church and the community.

Speak to Pastor or one of the members of consistory if you are willing to serve on one of these ministry teams.

Our Wise Counselor

A heart of wisdom. There’s no better gift, but how do you attain it? The Bible tells how. This six session Bible study, Our Wise Counselor is designed for small groups, individual or class room study. It explores the Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, and other books to help you discover the true value of wisdom over riches. Learn how God delights to impart wisdom to us and how He uses our folly to add to the patterns of our lives.

Pastor will begin a study on Tuesday evenings beginning April 1st at 7:30pm and on Wednesday afternoons beginning April 2nd at 1pm.

You also could get your own small group together for this study. If you are interested in attending a study led by Pastor and be apart of a small group you need to sign up by March 23rd, Easter Sunday. Sign up in church, call the office or email Pastor at
