     HOLY COMMUNION
    We practice "open communion". This means the Sacrament of Holy Communion is open to all who have been baptized and who believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in, under, and through the bread and wine, given for the forgiveness of sin, for life and salvation.
     
    INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION WORSHIP
     
    On Sunday, July 5, join us for one worship service at 10:00am.  This annual service is one all look forward to each year, as it is a time to celebrate and honor our country and those who defend it.  Remember to wear your uniform or red, white and blue, as this is truly a patriotic service to remember.
     
     
     
     
    WEDDINGS HERE AT ST. PAUL
     
    A wedding at St. Paul Lutheran Church is a worship service.  It is not just a social occasion with a religious touch thrown in. Nor should it become a display or a production to impress others or to conform to social customs. It is a service of worship in which life-long vows are made, prayers and praise offered up to God, and blessings extended.
     
    Our pastor is expected to conduct the service when there is a wedding held at St. Paul.  We do not "rent" our sanctuary, therefore, one must be a member of the congregation in order to have a wedding service here.  Any exceptions to membership are at the descretion of the pastor.
