The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
God Wants to Save All
God wants all people to repent of their sins and be saved through faith in his Son Jesus Christ. Is that what we want? Even if God cares this way for our enemies or the worst of humanity?
The Lord meets us today not only with his love for the world but with the power of the Holy Spirit to respond to his great love, saying, “Your gracious will be done!”
Celebrating 125 Years of God’s Grace
In 2026 we celebrate the 125th anniversary of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. For 125 years, God has faithfully gathered his people in this place around his Word and Sacraments, and we invite every member, family, and friend to join us as we give thanks for his blessings.
Take home a keepsake: Look for a table with a history highlight booklet, commemorative bookmarks, and tote bags.
Friends, neighbors, and former members are always welcome to join us.
