EASTER PRAYER VIGIL – HOLY SATURDAY, APRIL 19th  A long-standing tradition at St. Paul, Holy Saturday is observed with a 9-hour prayer vigil (6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) in the church sanctuary.  This vigil is divided into 15-minute time periods in which to meditate and pray—you (and family members) are invited to sign up for one or more of these periods.  The signup board is on a display table in the narthex.  Sign up today.

The Quilters will meet on Thursday, March 13, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., with a break for lunch at noon. Bring a sack lunch and join us.

The “All aboard!!!” Sounded and “The Last Train from Paris” pulled out of the station right on time.   We want to thank everyone who helped make our journey such a success.  Our St Paul Players were terrific, getting into their parts and making us wonder; Is she/he the murderer?  Our Chef, Duane Faas outdid any previous meals, treating us to a four course meal. The beef croussainte was fantastic.  Our Head Waiters, Thomas and Lisa Wilson and their staff of Ben, Alex and Caleb were worthy of a four-star restaurant.  Drue Sander, our Wine Steward, took care not to spill a drop.   A huge thank you to each of you!!!    Most of all we want to thank everyone who came, dressed in style, I might add.  Even though the weather was not ideal, we all gathered and had a great evening of fun, laughter, and a view of our fellow church members we hadn’t seen before. Vicki Roach, Bud and Thelma Voetberg and Ellen Sander

FREE Road Trip to Concordia University in Seward for all high school students! If you are a high school student please consider joining me on a ‘road trip’ and college visit to Concordia University in Seward NE. You may not have even thought about Concordia, so here is your opportunity to go and check it out with NO COST to you. You may have considered it but not sure how to get a visit set up, here is your chance. You will not be asked to make any kind of commitment. This is just a “come, look and see” opportunity. Some of you may be thinking that a private college is too expensive. Don’t assume that until you check into it. They have great scholarships. Also check into the great scholarship you will receive from Iowa District West for attending a Concordia college.
