Biblical education is one of our top priorities here at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Please view our video with a brief overview of the opportunities we offer.
Sunday/Monday Service Theme: “Resurrection Reminders” 1 Corinthians 15:1-20.
Adult Bible Class 9:15 am Revelation Highlights: Join us on Sunday mornings as we continue our study of the book of Revelation. This class will cover key chapters and themes in this encouraging but often misunderstood book. This week we look at the Seven Seals and Seven Trumpets from Rev. 7-8.
Children’s Sunday School Today, we will study “The Faith-Full Friends.” The Bible tells us David and Jonathan were such close friends that “the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David” (1 Samuel 18:1). Saul’s insane jealousy of David tests their friendship to the limit. David and Jonathan establish a plan to alert David if Saul continues to seek his life. Sadly, Saul’s anger remains unchecked. Jonathan, faithful to God’s will, warns David to flee from the king.

Helping Refugees in Need:
Christian Friends of New Americans, an LCMS service organization in St. Louis that does not receive federal funding, recently requested assistance in meeting the needs of several legally resettled refugees in St. Louis.
Due to the recent freeze in federal funds for several refugee services, many are turning to this and other Christian organizations for assistance.
This past summer our youth group spent two Saturdays helping out at a refugee center.
You can help in the following ways.
• Donating essential household items (e.g., cleaning supplies, toiletries, kitchen essentials)
• Providing grocery gift cards for refugee families in urgent need
• Making a financial contribution to sustain this critical work
Each of the above options to take action is available here: www.cfna-stl.org/donate
