The Education Committee would like to thank everyone involved in our 2010 Vacation Bible School!

 

2010 Vacation Bible School  

St. Paul teamed up with Central Christian Church to provide another wonderful VBS experience for the children of both congregations and the children in our community! Over 40 children were encouraged to love God from their head to their feet as they took part in Bible study, crafts, skits, movement, as well as singing contemporary music, and well-loved hymns and songs. Thank you to Sue Kemp, Kay Pajannan, Debbie Bartlett, Amy Martin, Rachel Skoczylas, Kelly Hutchinson, Anna and Kate Lacy, and Emily and Molly Martin for their help in this important mission!!!

 Sunday School Teachers/Helpers: We really need teachers! We will be trying a different format this year using the One Room Sunday School curriculum. Consider volunteering for a month or two (8 Sundays).

Contact Teri Lacy at 330-392-6588 or lacywarren@aol.com to offer your service!
Nursery Attendants: This is an important ministry in the growth and survival of our church. “The church nursery is the first contact young families will have with [our] church. Your friendly greeting and exceptional care for their children can make a great first impression. If they don’t feel like their children are safe, they will not return – and rightly so.” (7 Reasons Why Your Church Nursery Service Is Vital To Your Church, http://ministry-to-children.com/church-nursery/)
To support our families in their responsibility for the spiritual nurture and growth of their child contact Jeanette Meardith at 330-876-0170 to offer your service! THANK YOU!!!

“Live together in peace. Be understanding. Love one another like members of the same family. Be kind and tender.” 1 Peter 3:8

“Is it Biblical?”

Each Sunday, we, the people of God, come together to celebrate in various ways. Lutherans celebrate using a form of service referred to as The Great Thanksgiving, Holy Communion, Divine Worship, Holy Mass. We refer to our form of worship as Liturgical or having “Liturgy”. What does this mean? The word comes from the ancient Greek, leitourgia, meaning simply ‘the work of the people’. It is the culmination of the peoples’ work presented on Sunday morning as our oblation and thanksgiving to God. How biblical then is our Leitourgia? Below is a list of the “Ordinary” of the Evangelical Mass (as Luther calls it):

– Kyrie (Matt 15:22; 17:15; 20:30-31; cf. Ps 123:3)

– Gloria (Luke 2:14; cf. Rev 4:11; 5:11-14)

– This is the Feast (Rev. 5)

– Holy, Holy, Holy (Isa 6:3; Rev 4:8)

– Lamb of God (John 1:29, 36; cf. Rev 5:6-13; 22:1-3)

As you can see, our “Ordinary” is completely, totally, Biblical. In next month’s newsletter, we’ll show you the “propers” and how they are completely Biblical.


 

Ring out!  The Handbell Choir will be commencing rehearsals starting at the end of September  We will be looking for old and new alike to join. If you don’t read music, now is the time to learn.  There will be preliminary rehearsals to teach you those things which you do not know. 

We’ll look forward to ringing in the new seasons.
