Dedication of Worship Space at St. Paul Lutheran, Martensdale

Palm Sunday, April 13, 2014 was a day of celebration and thanksgiving at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Martensdale as their newly built worship and outreach center was officially

dedicated. The former building was destroyed by fire in October, 2011. 

 

Assumption Catholic Church in nearby Churchville offered to share worship and ministry space with the people of St. Paul. This was accepted and utilized for over two years. Keep reading...


Will You Put Us Over The Top?

As of April 21 we are at 62% and only 7 people away from reaching our goal of 65% participation. The chance for all synod employers to earn a 2% discount on our 2014 ELCA health contribution ends April 30.

Remember, if we reach 65% participation each congregation and organization in the synod will earn a 2% rebate on all 2014 ELCA health contributions. That is money back you can use for ministry!

The April 30 deadline is 9 days away. Take the health assessment today.
