From the desk of Pastor Ernie Green:
Confirmation Weekend: For nine of our students, today marks the end of two years of weekly Confirmation classes. Those nine will be confirmed during the 10:45 AM service today. The nine confirmands are:
Allison Burrow – daughter of Nathan and Kathrine Burrow
Ryson Cox – son of Jason and Wendy Cox
Owen Killion – son of Jeremy and Jessica Killion
Ella Luke – daughter of Arthur and Sabrina Luke
Fallon Manth – daughter of Marc and Michelle Manth
John Monroe – son of Dennis and Holly Monroe
Madeleine Pfonner – daughter of Frank and Renee Pfonner
Abgail Rellinger – daughter of Gregory and Amy Rellinger
Genevieve Zimmerman – daughter of Stephen and Kelly Zimmerman
Please keep these young people and their families in your prayers.
Save the date: Family Picnic: Sunday, August 11, 2024. Our 10:45 AM worship will be in the pavilion at the West Canal Marina. Our picnic will begin right after the worship service at noon. This promises to be another wonderful day of festivities. Did I mention the food? Well, the same folks from Alps Catering will be back again this year, and if you missed it, well, you missed a fun, as well as delicious time. More information will be shared as we get closer to the picnic day. Start planning now to be there with us.
The Season of Easter continues: Nothing ends after Easter and Confirmation; things keep right on moving at St. Paul. We’ll be gathering for the special Ascension Day service on Thursday, May 9 at 7:00 PM. We’ll leave a light on for you and yours. Join us as we celebrate Jesus’ ascension to His Father in Heaven.
Roswell watch: I was scheduled for five days of radiation this past week, prayerfully It all worked out. Next week will be the roughest week yet with chemo scheduled on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and radiation every day.
God bless you with every gift of God’s Peace, Love, and Joy!
