Greetings from Pastor Jim Martin! I’m looking forward to meeting you…in church or during the week. I’ll be in the office (or out visiting) Mondays, Tuesdays, & Wednesdays, and sermon-writing on Thursdays. Friday is my day off. Saturday appointments are a possibility for those who can’t get together during the week. You would be doing me a big favor by helping me see how God is at work at St Paul!
Are You Reading “THE STORY?” This Sunday we’re reading Chapter 12 about David & Bathsheba, about confession & forgiveness; consequences & restoration. If you don’t have a copy, pick one up today.
Discovery Class starts next Sunday, right after 10:45 service. We’ll start with a light lunch, dig into God’s Word together, and be on the way by 1:30. We’ll be focusing on what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, and part of His family at St. Paul.
