St. Paul @ 125

2009 marks the 125th anniversary of St. Paul Lutheran Church, founded in 1884. We are celebrating our birthday in many ways, including a festival Eucharist on Pentecost, May 31, with Bishop Roy Riley presiding, followed by an international potluck to celebrate our current and past diversity. We’re also using this milestone for some vital fundraising. The St. Paul @ 125 Fund will be used for:

• Vital repairs to our 90-year-old organ to ensure it will lift its voice to God for many years to come–$40,000
• The Welcoming Project, including a lighted outdoor sign, air conditioning in the nave, and a space for private counseling–$30,000

So we hope to raise $70,000 in total. If you would like to contribute, please email us.

Pennies add up

Our children have been collecting pennies (and other coins) as part of our celebration of our 125th anniversary. This is a fun (and painless) way to add to our St. Paul @ 125 Fund. We all have loose change we can easily live without. Already we’re raised over $360 just in pennies! Bring yours and put them in the bowls at each entrance of the church.
