If you are interested and willing to serve in this area, please contact Keith Folkmann at (515) 441-6489 / keith.folkmann@gmail.comthe church office at (515) 232-5838 / office@saintpaulames.org.

Youth Sunday is TODAY for BOTH services. Thank you to all the youth who participated in this special service.  Additional thanks to parents, teachers, and group leaders for your support.

Adopt a Garden- The St Paul Lutheran Church garden is located at Brookside Park right next to the swinging bridge on the west side. During the past few years, Tom and Judy have signed up to take the lead on getting a sign-up sheet for volunteers to help clean up the garden in the spring and volunteers to assist with planting and mulching the garden. Tom and Judy are wondering if there would be an individual or couple or family that would like to take the lead on heading up the St Paul Lutheran Church “Adopt a Garden”. We would be willing to assist and help with what we have done in the past years. We have until April 4th to let the City know if we be participating this summer. Please contact Tom or Judy at 450-4039 or talk to them at church if you would be willing to take over this very rewarding program.

THANK-YOU! to the St. Paul Congregation members for your generous support of our recent Time & Talent and Loyalty Sunday activities. We have received a very positive response on the Time & Talent forms as well as the Financial Pledge Cards. May God’s Blessings continue to flow on you and your families for your stewardship commitments in service to God and St. Paul Church Family.  St. Paul Stewardship Team
