Fall Worship Schedule
|  I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the Lord!"
Psalm 122:1
The Council has approved the recommendation from the Christian Education and Worship committees for our one service format this fall.
We joyfully anticipate this new schedule which allows us to worship together as one church family. Our worship will be enhanced as we enjoy the choirs each Sunday, share communion and experience the milestone events together. This new schedule will allow teachers and leaders of the education program to build upon God's lessons from worship as they seek to write God's word upon the hearts of all His children.
May God continue to be glorified here at St. Paul as we move to this new schedule beginning September 8th.
Worship at 9:30 am
Education Hour at 10:45 to 11:30 am
