Our beautiful manger scene at St. Paul. But maybe you notice something is missing...
The baby Jesus was taken from our manger scene sometime between our Wednesday evening Advent service last week and Sunday morning. If you have any information on the whereabouts of our baby Jesus, please contact Pastor Schlicht.
Happy New Year! Today marked the first day of the new Church Year. During the season of Advent, we focus on Jesus’ coming: his coming in the flesh to be our Savior, his coming into hearts through Word and Sacrament, but particularly his coming in the clouds on the Last Day to judge the living and the dead. Jesus directs us to live in constant watchfulness, eagerly anticipating his return to deliver us from the effects of sin.
Prepare your heart for the Savior’s second coming and for a proper celebration of his first coming by attending mid-week Advent services. “Who Are We Waiting For?” serves as the theme of the three-week series that begins this Wednesday evening (December 5). These shortened services will start at 7pm and focus on Messianic Psalms pointing to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. All are invited and we would love for you to join us!
Join us for our annual Christmas Potluck meal this Sunday (December 2) after the worship service. There will be food, fellowship, and maybe even some Christmas carols.
Some women in the congregation will also be throwing a baby shower for Pastor Schlicht and Stacey in conjunction with the potluck.
Come and join us this Sunday!
Join us as we celebrate our Thanksgiving festival this Wednesday, November 21st, at 7pm. All are welcome and invited.

Come, one and all! Join us for our mission festival! (it sort of rhymes)
This coming Sunday, October 28, St. Paul is celebrating it's annual Mission Festival. Our guest speaker will be Pat Schlosser who is a disaster relief nurse. She has traveled all over the world caring for the bodies and souls of complete strangers, bringing them an unending hope in times of great difficulty.
Pat will present during our Bible Class hour at 9am. A mission-themed service will follow at 10am with a potluck meal after that. We would love for you to join us.
Pat’s presentation today could be titled: Mending Bodies — Saving Souls
Following disasters, it's easy for nurses to feel like they want to go out and “save the world.” Our focus was on mending the bodies, but we quickly realized that we couldn't save them all. What a huge blessing to know that we didn't have to—we simply needed to tell them about Jesus, the one who already did.
From NYC to Haiti and more, I was given many unique opportunities to experience mission work first hand and to see the amazing difference God can make in people's lives. We were there mending bodies — but Jesus was there saving souls.
We are expanding our use of social media. St. Paul now has a channel on YouTube for posting sermon videos. You can find us here.
After a long three weeks of fighting, Harold Hidde closed his eyes to this world and opened his eyes to his heavenly home. Visitation will be at Eberhardt Funeral Home in Clintonville this coming Sunday from 5-8pm. Funeral will follow Monday morning at St. Paul at 11am with another visitation preceding at 10am and lunch to follow.
The Youth Group of St. Paul is hosting a special potluck meal after church on September 23. All are invited to come. If able, bring a dish to pass. We'll see you there!
