FROM PASTOR SARAH
Beloved of God, 

The theme of our upcoming Annual Meeting, "The Holy Spirit is breaking through!" is based on the St. Paul Lutheran Breakthrough Prayer. Each report we receive, each decision we make, and our gathering itself are all signs of God's presence in this congregation. On January 26th we will get to celebrate that together and ask God's continued grace for us. 

Please read the Annual Report and the Financial Supplement (linked in the section below). Pray for this congregation as we move forward in faith, trusting God's promise to always be with us. 

And remember: God is breaking through in our congregation! Look for those holy moments each day! 


In peace, 
Pastor Sarah
