The Book to Know group will meet Thursday, March 14th, 7:00 pm at Janelle Swenson’s home to discuss “Women of Easter” by Liz Curtis Higgs. Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.

New Bible study for Women– On February 4 the Women’s Bible study group began a new study: Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer. We meet every Monday at 5:45 p.m. in the board room in the basement.  All women of the congregation are invited to join us.

Could your group sign up to provide a Lenten meal? We would like to have all the Lenten meals planned soon. We are looking for groups to provide a meal. This does not mean it has to be a church board, but it could be. It could also be a Missional Community group, choir, altar guild, or a group of friends. Sign up on the bulletin board for the week you would like to serve.

Bring a dish to share and join us for the Senior Fellowship Potluck on Wednesday, February 13 at 11:30 am in the Fellowship Hall

 If you are a Thrivent member, and have accumulated choice dollars in your   accounts, now is a good time to designate them to an organization of your choice. If it is St Paul Lutheran, you may select your choice dollars to go to any of the programs at St. Paul. If you do direct them to a specific program please notify the Financial Secretary (Tom Baas) of the amount and the area of our church to which you would like the funds directed. If you need help in designating your choice dollars, please contact your Thrivent representative or the St. Paul Office.  If your choice dollars are not distributed by March, Thrivent will distribute them to organizations of their choice.

The Human Care Board is having a donation drive for ACCESS. There will be a large box in the narthex. Access is an organization that helps survivors of violence.  Some of the needs are: toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, and hygiene products. They have a registry at TARGET (search registry, then type in ACCESS under organization) where you can get more ideas or purchase a gift card. They also are always in need of gas cards. If you choose to donate a gift card please put it in the Human Care Board mailbox. If you have any questions please contact Gloria Lewis. Thank you! Board of Human Care.
