A MOMENT OF HUMBLE REFLECTION

Youth Group Retreat Feb 2024

Youth Group Retreat

This past weekend we went on our annual youth group retreat to Spruce Lake Retreat Center in the Poconos Mountains. First,
I thank all the adult leaders who dedicated their time to this past weekend.

One thing is for sure. We have the MOST AMAZING group of kids!

Not only did they invest their time in the lessons, worship, and getting to know other youth, but they were able to lift my spirits during a stressful at the beginning of the trip.

Getting the van stuck in the mud at 11pm was not the highlight of my trip, but as you can see in the photo below, it was a highlight of the kids.

Reenactment

Disclaimer: Photo is a creative reenactment. Kids having fun making silly photos.

They made the most of a bad situation. They put everything into perspective for me.

And most of all, they showed love and support to their leaders.
Their kindness and Christian nature warmed my heart…. I can not wait to continue to grow with these kids!

Blessings,
Melissa

A Message from Pastor Evan – January 25, 2024

Rev Evan Dodge

Dear St. Paul’s family: 

I continue to give thanks to God for his presence and power here in our congregation. The Lord is moving in our church and I am grateful to be a part of that! Perhaps you have been attending for a short while or a long time, and want to deepen your relationship with St. Paul’s church through membership.

Joining a local church is a public expression of your commitment to serving God and others through the mission and ministry of a church. If this is you, I’m so grateful! Please reach out to the church office (office@stpaulsbrick.org or 732-458-2080) or to Pastor Evan (pastorevan@stpaulsbrick.org).

We will have a new member orientation in March, and we want to reserve room for you! Come be a part of what God is doing here!

Peace,
Pastor Evan
