Congratulations to the Class of 2023!

We celebrated the Senior Class of 2023 in our Traditional Worship Service on May 7th. Graduates, St. Paul would like to congratulate you once again as you take part in your commencement ceremonies. As you take flight into new chapters of your lives, always know that St. Paul is your church home We hope and pray for your futures. Let your hearts, now and always, be filled by Him.

From Colossians 3:

¹⁶Let your hearts be filled with the word of Christ. Be very wise when you teach people and help them to understand what is right and wrong. Sing with music. Sing praises and Christian songs. Sing to the Lord with praise in your hearts.

¹⁷Whatever you say, or whatever you do, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.

Annual Easter Egg Hunt – March 29, 2023

Fun was had by all at this year’s Easter Egg Hunt! The Easter Bunny and her sister gave out hugs and treats as the children anxiously awaited the word “GO!” There was a flurry of pastel colors and smocking to get to those eggs. Many babies were satisfied with just one egg while the older children were on a race for the Prize Egg. Thank you to Sharon Bunn, Carol Henderson, Merett and Lon Alexander (homeowners), Joy Sloan Bohn (pictures), parents, participants, Libbie Key, Mary Dell Borneman, those who donated eggs, and to the youth for hiding eggs!
