RALLY DAY – September 9 Sunday school begins! 3 year-olds, 3rd graders and 7th graders will receive their Bibles!
We have a wonderful outreach here at St. Paul with our preschool. One of the best ways we can support our preschool’s families is through prayer. We would like to have a church family praying regularly for each preschool family. That’s it!!! Just pray! Please sign up on the bulletin board and a preschool family will be given to you to include in your prayers.
Next Sunday we will be collecting Mites for the LWML Mission Grants. The large mite box is in the narthex. Thank you.
REMINDER- Midweek Kick-off is Wed, Aug 29, at 6:30 pm. Extra Midweek registration packets are on the magazine rack beside the handicapped lift. Remember, each child needs to have a completed packet.
Please note: our first midweek class will be on September 5.
LWML Iowa West District Fall Retreat will be held Sept 22 at Mission Central. Registration is $15. Details and registration forms are on the bulletin board-register soon, as the barn only holds 160. We will be carpooling, so sign up if you would like to carpool.
Don’t Forget! Save the Date – September 9th! The Church Facilities Assessment Team and Gary Landhauser from Novak Design Group, PLC will be sharing the results of our study and potential changes to our current church facilities and property. This will be an informational meeting and not a voters’ meeting which means we will not be making any voter decisions or deciding on options. The purpose is to gather the thoughts and opinions of our members to help the Facilities Team and Board of Directors determine the next steps to take moving forward. A free meal will be served at the beginning of the meeting. Child care will also be available. If you need to utilize the child care support, please call the church office by Wednesday, September 5th to indicate your need. Please plan to attend on September 9.
