Worship this Summer
Worship is Thursdays and Saturdays at 6:30pm and Sunday at 9:00am.   We would love to see you all in worship regularly this summer as we discuss the life of the church, collectively and individually throughout the season of Pentecost.

Registration for 2024-2025 School Year
This year, all families will be asked to complete a paper copy of our TUITION SCHEDULE (can be found at this link), which can be submitted to the office. Next year's school registration material was emailed to our K-8 families. The email came from noreply@infosnap.com. Amy Surian also emailed families individually on Monday, July 1 if they have not registered yet. Please check your spam folder if you do not see it in your inbox.
In order to streamline the registration process, we are asking all K-8 families to register through the infosnap link this year. 
If you have any questions, please reach out to the school office.

VBS Save the Date - It’s Coming Up Quick!
Join us this summer for St. Paul’s “Celebrate the Savior” VBS from July 29-August 2. Our loving God has given us so much to celebrate - family, friends, food, but especially forgiveness through faith in Jesus, our Savior. As kids explore five key events in the life of Jesus, they will discover how the love of Jesus fills us with joy! Register your child or volunteer at www.stpaulslutherannfdl.com/vbs.
If you would like to donate supplies, please sign up on the sheet on the table by the Martin Luther Room.

3 Good Reasons to Worship In-Person Each Week: Reason #1
A hymn writer wrote, “To your temple I draw near; Lord, I love to worship here.  Here are sacrament and Word; here believers meet their Lord.” (#226 CW93).  In public worship, we’re wrapped in the Means of Grace through which the Holy Spirit has promised to work whether recalling our Baptisms, contemplating the Word, sung or spoken, or receiving Holy Communion, the actual body and blood of Jesus and all that He has done for us.   Faith is given and strengthened here.  This is where God works on us, takes us to the cross, and forgives us.  Because of what God does here, we want to be here.  Wrapped in the Means of Grace, we are wrapped in the love of God.

Have You Checked Your Church Mailbox Lately?
If you haven’t checked your mailbox in a while, please do so.  Our Elders have been working hard to contact members we haven’t seen in a while and our mailboxes are one of the ways we track attendance. Of course, you’ll also want to get the information to see everything going on here at St. Paul’s.

Before School Helpers Needed
Before school care runs from 7:00 am until about 8:15 am each morning. Tuesday and Thursday mornings have been spoken for. You can sign up for 1 day or several.  Pay is $15 per hour. If you would like to assist next year, please speak with Pastor Kampman for more information.  Thank you.

Hot Lunch Server(s) Needed for Next Year
Volunteers have hopped in to take a day Monday through Wednesday each week so far.  Hot Lunch Service runs from 11:30 until 1:00 each day. Lunches come cooked and ready. Our servers simply take the food and portion it to those who take lunch that day.  You can volunteer for one day or many each week. Contact Pastor Kampman for more information should you be interested.
