Harmony @ Home

Each season we have several activities designed just to help loved ones live in harmony together.

Now that the Discernment Committee has finished up, the Call Committee has started meeting. We will be reviewing candidates that are interested in coming to St. Paul, and will interviewing a few hopefully in the next few months. After the interviews are conducted, we will be presenting our choice to the church council, who will then have to approve the nominee before they will come and preach at our church. After this, the congregation will meet and vote on the candidate.  For a complete step-by-step view of the process, click here.  If you would like to nominate a candidate, please click here.

While we are working very hard on this process and ask for your prayers and support, we are not in charge of this process. We are trying to follow God's plan, and we ask for your patience as we do this. If you have any questions or suggestions for nominees, please contact either Tim Reisen (treisen@comcast.net or (313) 670-2651) or Michele Miller (michlmil@umich.edu or (313) 729-9600). Thank you for your patience and support!

MILESTONE CELEBRATIONS

The St Paul community celebrates the journey our young people begin from home into the world with the High School graduation milestone.  Parents bless their children with quilts made by hand with love and prayer by the St Paul Pieces Be With You Quilt group.

GARDEN STONES  that are hand crafted by the middle and high school youth will be sold over the month of May.  Garden stones make great Mother's and Father's Day gifts, and confirmation and graduation gifts.  Proceeds from this effort will go to purchasing a new basketball hoop for the Wayne County Family Center, ELCA Disaster Relief and LSSM Foster Care. 

Supply Preaching: The Worship Committee is inviting laypersons to lead worship/preach during one or more Sundays of pastor's vacation time. The remaining date is July 27. . For more information please speaks with Pastor or Susan Kvale.

Our own Lutheran Financial insurance and investment company (formerly AAL and Lutheran Brotherhood) receives very high marks within the business community.   Thrivent products are now open to all, but are especially designed for Lutherans.    We can be proud of how they had the foresight to become a fraternal organization-sharing profits with policy holders rather than being a company who pays taxes on profits.   

Annually, our church receives designated money from Thrivent members (if you own products, consider listing St. Paul as your "choice" for receiving this money).  In addition, our church received Chapter matching money for fundraisers held during Lent.   Through a 50% match of the $2,000+ raised during 5 Lenten Dinners, the Easter Breakfast, and a fundraiser for Mission Trip to El Salvador, many people will be helped.    The money raised & matched will benefit:   St. Paul's Youth Choir Program & Musical, World Hunger, LSSM, and El Salvador Mission Trip.    THANKS THRIVENT for ongoing support and this $1,000.  

If you'd like to know more about this fraternal investment and insurance company, go to their website or contact church office for  representative in our area.

This month we lift in prayer the LSSM Foster Care programs.  Lutheran Social Services of Michigan has been providing services for children and families since 1934. They are Michigan's largest private foster care agency, helping more than 800 children every day across the Lower Peninsula. Their experienced staff are passionate about their desire to help foster families create a better life for the children in their care.  Their goal is a safe home for every child.
