2008 VBS Theme is
Friendship Trek
We would like to thank
everyone that helped with the preparations for Friendship Trek,
2008, Vacation Bible School. We had 17 students
attend this year and 15 adults that helped throughout the
week including light supper that was served each night. Our
mission project was LCMS World Relief and Human Care, at the end
of VBS the students had donated $80.16 by bringing in pennies,
nickels, dimes, and quarters. The final total is not available
at this time.
Sunday School

The Sunday School would like to invite everyone to a
Potluck/Picnic after church on Sunday,
August 31st, location to be announced later. The Sunday School
will be providing the hamburgers, hot
dogs, and bratwurst. Please bring enough dinnerware and drinks
for your family and a dish to share.
See you there!!
Vision
Committee
Our Vision Committee is open to all members of St. Paul’s. The
purpose of the Vision Committee is to spark ideas and practical
ways that may help us live out our Value Statements and our
Mission Statement. We plan to meet quarterly, this month meeting
on the 5th Tuesday evening, April 29.
The Vision Committee then passes the ideas along to the
appropriate Board or Committee of the Congregation, for them to
further evaluate and carry out as they decide.
Do you have an idea for the life of our congregation and our
mission together? Please join us on April 29 to share your
ideas.
St. Paul's Youth
Our Lock-In was
bumped from July 11-12, because most of the kids were out of
town and some of the adults had unexpected work schedule
conflicts. We are rescheduling for August 15-16.
- We met after church on May 4 to develop
our theme and plans.
- Our study time will focus on Daniel from
the Old Testament
- Our games will include Wiffle Ball,
Hillbilly Golf, Smarter Than a 5th Grader,
Washers, and Bible Trivia (focusing on Daniel).
- Our meals will include hot dogs, homemade
pizzas, and a sausage & biscuit & gravy breakfast.
We need to know if you will be attending by
August 13, to plan for the amounts of food. Friends are welcome!
Speak to Pastor or Vanessa Queen to sign up.
Greeters
Many THANKS to all families
who volunteered to greet our members and visitors to St. Paul’s.
Also, thanks to Carol Gilman who coordinates this. It is nice to
come in and see a friendly face.
If you would like to participate
in this outreach to members and visitors please contact Carol or
the church.
The things you will do is arrive
at church 10 minutes before the service begins, put on a name
tag, stand in the Narthex and greet all who come to worship with
us. If they are a visitor you can ask them to sign our guest
registry. Of course, to smile and welcome them to St. Paul’s.
