Dear St. Paul Church & School Families,

The Church and School Winter Apparel store is now open! You can find this year's "Ugly Christmas" shirt, winter hats, & socks, along with a variety of other items.

The store will be open now until November 11. Orders will then be fulfilled and delivered to the school by November 22.

This is the second of three campaigns throughout the 2024-2025 school year. If you have any questions, please contact office@stpaulbaycity.org.

Thank you for supporting St. Paul Lutheran Church & School.

The Bay County Health Department will be here on Monday, November 4, to conduct hearing and vision exams. Hearing exams are for grades K, 2 & 4 and vision exams are for grades 1, 3, 5 & 7.

If you would like to opt your child out from the hearing or vision exam we will need a note, either written or emailed to office@stpaulbaycity.org

The students of St. Paul have been extremely generous with their Chapel Offerings for the First Quarter. We have received $225.73 for the Children’s Liberian Ministry. This money will help to build a Lutheran grade school in Liberia. Thank you for blessing this ministry!

To accommodate the increase in enrollment, Preschool, Young 5’s, and Kindergarten will have their own Christmas Program on Sunday, December 15, at 2:00 pm. Please mark your calendars and plan accordingly.

St. Paul is pleased to announce that Friday Popcorn Days will resume on Friday, November 8. 

Individual popcorn bags can be purchased for $0.50 a bag on Popcorn Day, or punch cards can be purchased in the office. $5.00 popcorn punch cards are good for 12 bags. We will continue to use the same popcorn cards from previous years. If your student still has available popcorn we will let him or her know. 

The dates for Popcorn Friday

November Dates: 11/8 (Regular), 11/22 (Flavor)

December Dates: 12/6 (Regular), 12/20 (Flavor)

Profits will be used for student aid assistance. We thank Mrs. Lusher for bringing back Popcorn Friday!

Thank you to the St. Paul Teachers and Staff for making this year’s VIP Day such an enjoyable experience. The delicious refreshments, warm hospitality, and purposeful Chapel message all made the day great.

A special thanks to all who supported our Trunk-or-Treat this year. If you hosted a trunk--thank you! If you donated food, supplies, or your time--thank you! There would be no event without these donations. We had wonderful weather and about 150 kids who participated in the event. -Janelle & Katie
