Coming Home for Christmas Set for December 10
I’m really excited about our upcoming Saint Paul Homecoming set for De-cember 10! Scores of people have been working hard to make the day a great success. A team of people are praying daily for our inactive members. Others have been trained to make a series of visits over the next several days. The meal has been planned. Decorations are going up. The choir is rehearsing and the message is in the works! It’s going to be a great day!
Why are we putting so much effort into reaching inactive members? It’s simple…the love of Christ compels us (cf. II Corinthians 5:14). People need Christ, and people can experience Him in all His fullness only within His body – the church.
Saint Paul is moving forward. Attendance is growing. The staff is work-ing hard to develop new ministries, and we’re taking steps to hire a new Family Ministries Director. New Sunday School classes are in the works. Through all of these things, people can experience Christ here at Saint Paul.
I’m excited about Saint Paul and I want folks to experience what we’re be-coming. Be in prayer for December 10. Those who haven’t been here for a while will have a fresh new encounter with Christ that day! As always,
God’s best to you!

Christmas at Saint Paul
Christmas at Saint Paul is back! I am very excited to have a time to have fun and fellowship with my
church family at Saint Paul. We will have a brief worship service at 5:30 in the Sanctuary; then we
will all go to Corinthian Hall for food and fun. Mr. and Mrs. Claus have RSVP'd that they will be
attending, so be sure to bring your kids, grandkids, neighbor kids, or any kids you find to be with us.
Sunday School classes are bringing lots of tasty holiday treats. We will have, cookies, crackers,
cheese, cheese balls, popcorn, spinach balls, and sausage balls. We will also have fruit empanadas,
dips, sausages...It will be a feast for sure.
I'll see you there!

United Methodist Women
The United Methodist Women of Saint Paul invite you to come and join them on Wednesday,
December 6 at 9:30 in the parlor for the annual Christmas brunch and program. The children of
Saint Paul Preschool will sing Christmas songs. This is always a fun morning.
Coming in 2018
Now that you have a nice clean calendar for 2018, it's time to start filling it up with opportunities at
Saint Paul.
Wednesday night studies and activities will resume on Wednesday, January 10.
Women's Bible study will resume on Thursday, January 11 at 9:00 in the parlor. All women are
invited and encouraged to attend.
The Youth will be serving a Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, February 4.
We will have our annual Chili Cook-off in Corinthian Hall on Wednesday, February 7.
Scout Sunday is February 11.
St. Paul Preschool is diving into the Christmas season! For some of our children, the fact that Jesus is the reason we
celebrate Christmas is a new concept. Crafts, music, and stories will center on the birth of Jesus. Nativity scenes that are child-friendly are located in our classrooms,
fostering the idea that Jesus is accessible to all of us. Our chapel lessons for December will tell the old story, new again in the eyes of a child.
St. Paul, we appreciate your prayers and support of the Preschool!
