All women are invited to attend. Our first lesson (April 25 at 5:45 pm) will look at Adam & Eve, and Cain & Abel.
We thank you….everyone who attended the Dinner and a Movie on April 9th, thank you for your support. Our selected movie “Woodlawn” was a touchdown hit, except for a couple mushy scenes, as a couple of younger members of our tailgate crowd pointed out. we loaded our plates with sliders, wings, salsa, and pie, thanks to the culinary skill of Duane Faas, settled in to watch the feature event. again for your support, as we were able to give our youth a nice donation for their trip to New Orleans this summer.
The 10 Year Vision Plan draft is now completed and the action task leaders are ready for members of St. Paul to provide input and comment before the plan is finalized. The draft implementation plan will be presented to the congregation on TODAY, Sunday April 24 in the fellowship hall beginning at 12:00 noon or after end of the second service. Lunch will be catered and child care will be provided. Please come and share your input!
