Bibles, churches, and lives are being destroyed by a violent Muslim group in Nigeria. Trinity Lutheran Church in Jefferson is collecting used Bibles and hymnals to be sent to Nigeria. What a great way to share the good news with these people who so desperately need it. If you have old Bibles and/or hymnals that you would be willing to donate to this important cause, please leave them on the back pew in the fellowship hall before April 26.We will be sure to get them to Jefferson to be sent on their way to Nigeria.

Murder Mystery Dinner….the lights went out, a shot was fired, a dead body laid on the floor…..who did it? The St. Paul Players once again provided the clues and chuckles that helped solve the murder, while providing an entertaining evening.  Chuck Wagon Chef, Duane Faas, provided a mouth waterin’, finger lickin’ good dinner, served up by our youthful saloon servers.  Applause, applause to you all for making it an evening to remember. 

Pastor’s Wednesday morning Bible study on Acts will continue April 15th at 10:30 am. We will cover chapters 21 & 22.

St. Paul Family, Words cannot adequately express our thanks to everyone for your prayers, words of encouragement, and overwhelming support over the past 6 months. Our journey is not completely over but everything looks very positive right now. I am back to work part-time and will be using the next several months to build up my strength. We have been blessed! Praise to God, the Great Healer! ~Tom and Cindy Baas
