A Message from the Director of Family Ministries – September 5, 2024
We had a wonderful end of summer celebration!
The Kids showed me I can still be a kid at heart, but I definitely felt my age at our overnight Youth Group Lock-in.
For those who do not know a youth lock-in is where the youth stay at the church overnight, AND STAY UP ALL NIGHT LONG!
The kids had a blast and the adults did their best to keep up!
All in all a great end to summer.
We are excited to kick off our fall program where we will have each of the kids complete a spiritual gifts inventory. We will be exploring Spiritual gifts and having lessons on how to best utilize our individual gifts.
Fall- HERE WE COME!
Melissa Jensen- Director of Family Ministries
A Message from Pastor Evan – September 5, 2024
Dear St Paul’s:
This Sunday we begin a 4 week sermon series on the book of James. This is one of my favorite books in the Bible, and a timely one, too. Sadly, it has been my experience that the church mirrors the culture more and more, in both words and actions. The Book of James was written to a church community trying to figure out how to follow Jesus amidst persecution and cultural opposition.
James reminds them to not show favoritism toward anyone, especially the rich; to be mindful of speech and the power of words; and to live lives of trust and prayer. My prayer is that as we examine the Scriptures together, the Lord transforms us to be more and more the people of Christ as reflected in this powerful book.
Join us at 9 or 11 am!
