This Christmas, choose a gift from a group of Lutheran social ministry organizations, camps, and our synod’s companion synods abroad to directly support their mission and programs. Your contribution goes to the beneficiary organization you have selected. More information is found in the narthex and portico and gift cards are available online or through the office.

Youth Sunday is January 26th, 2025!
Youth Sunday is an annual St. Paul’s tradition and is always held on the last Sunday in January (which is also the same day as the church’s annual meeting). Youth Sunday is open to all youth, from preschool age to high school seniors, and we are looking a variety of gifts, from reading to ushering to music—we will have something for everyone to do!
Youth Sunday planning takes many weeks, so we wanted to get this date on everyone’s calendar before the start of Advent and encourage everyone to sign up!
