THANK YOU Dear St. Paul family,
TAKE HOME A MEMORY We have been spring cleaning at St. Paul!! We have placed pictures on a table downstairs next to the elevator. Please go through the pictures and take home any that you would like.
The many kindnesses you have shown during the passing of John have touched my heart more than I could have imagined. Your presence at the funeral home and funeral, the food provided after the service, your prayers, hugs, calls, texts, flowers, donations to the church in John’s memory, your encouraging words and Love all have helped to ease our pain. Whatever you did will never be forgotten. You truly take our benediction to heart. You give God’s Love away so freely. I Love you all, Jeanette Kesler and Family

Christ Is Risen, Christ Is Risen! INDEED! Good morning to all our St. Paul family and the guests who have come to worship the Risen Christ. What an amazing day to be in the house of God. There is never a bad day to be here and most days are better here than anywhere else I find myself. As we contemplate the love of God and our love for each other I encourage you to feel loved. My hope for you today is that as we worship together you are welcomed by many and loved by all. Look around and see all those people who came here today to hear the message of a loving God and to feel that love from the people who have gathered. What a great looking group of folks we are. I do notice that there are some people not with us today. On such a high Sunday it becomes very apparent those who because of work, family or physical circumstance are unable to be with us. Can we take a moment to pray that God will bless them wherever they are today? We also pause to say thank you to all those people who have gone on to the other side of the river and now celebrate Easter with the Risen Christ. What a great day. We are so glad you are here and we are excited to worship with you. Shall we begin?
