IMAGINE THAT a friend or family member who is unfamiliar with your Christian faith asks you to summarize the gos­pel.  She isn’t looking for a laundry list of doctrines. She has no interest in hearing you recite the Apostles’ Creed.  She wants to get to the heart of the matter.  “In seven words or less,” she says, “tell me what you believe as a Christian.”  What would you say?  How would you put it?  Are you prepared to confess your faith in Jesus? Christians have the best news in the world to share!  But are we prepared to share it?  During this season of Lent, we’re going to prepare to celebrate Holy Week by sharing why Holy Week is so import­ant.  Our midweek worship services will serve as opportunities to consider the many ways in which the Scriptures proclaim Jesus.  During the week, each of you will be working on your own summary, with the hopes that all of us are more prepared to share the good news of Jesus.  Come and join us this Lent, and join us by crafting your own confession of the gospel!  

Please join us as we journey to the cross during Lent at St. Paul’s. Service on Wednesday evenings at 7:00P.M. from Ash Wednesday through Maundy Thursday.  

March 2 – Ash Wednesday, “The Gospel in Seven Words”

March 9 – “Preparing to Confess “

March 16 – “Captivity and Freedom”

March 23 – “Death and Life”

March 30 – “Isolation and Community”

April 6 –   The Gospel in Your Words

April 14 – Maundy Thursday “Jesus Comes to Feed My Hungry Soul”

April 15 – Good Friday Service at noon and 7:00PM. “Jesus is Lord,

Even Over My Death”    

April 17 – Easter Sunday Service at 8:00A.M. and 10:30AM.“Christ Is Risen! In Him We Rise!”

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, and some may not, St. Paul’s has a dedicated team of women who have volunteered to make meals for church families during times of need.   Needs come in a variety of reasons: illness, surgery, loss of a loved one, etc.   All requests for this help should be made to Pastor Mongeau. He may also offer this help as needs arise. He then will notify me of the need and I send an email to our team asking for volunteers. All information is kept as confidential as you want it to be. The volunteer preparing the meal will contact the individual to make arrangements for delivery. Many times, meals are left in the church freezer for members to pick up at their convenience.  I, too, may make contact to find out if there are dietary restrictions that should be followed.  When a request is made, not every team member is expected to help, only if you can.  Our team has lovingly been preparing meals for the past 3+ years. We will always welcome new helpers, so please let me know if you would like to be included on the team. Pastor Kevin and I are always available to answer questions. Thank you,
