On September 9th 2025 we were blessed to install and pray for our Sunday School teachers. We are grateful that they volunteered to serve the church in this way. Your time and effort towards teaching these young scholars is appreciated. Your work to teach them about God and His Word is important work.
Monday Evening Service
Not everyone can make it on Sunday mornings to gather together at church. To help with that we are trying a Monday evening worship service every month starting on September 15th. This service will be similar to the previous day's service, with the same Scripture readings and some of the same hymns. The evening service will be unique in that it will follow the compline pattern of worship. We would love for you to join us on Monday, September 15th at 6:30pm for this service. Dates for other Monday services will be announced later.
Planning Ahead 2025
We have some outreach and evangelism efforts planned for the rest of the year. Take a look and mark your calendar because we’ll need help for these…
Church Family Night Tuesday August 26th
Next week we are having a church family night here at church. Come on over at 5:30pm for food and then stay as we watch and discuss a presentation from the Lutheran Leadership Conference. We will watch "Connecting to your Community" by Rev. Jonathan Bourman. During the presentation Pastor Bourman shares experiences he has from starting a mission congregation and challenges us to consider how we can apply the ideas in our own community.
Fall Frenzy Saturday September 20th
We want to reach out to our community during the Fall Frenzy by having a booth at the event. We'll have a bird feeder craft for the kids to make (for free). The bird feeder will be laser cut so that it should be easy to assemble. So to do this, we need your help and support. We need to have several people there from 9am until 2pm (you don't have to be there the entire time, but we need coverage for those hours). We also need a few more people there to talk to people, especially the parents while their children are making the craft.
Please consider helping with this effort. We need to know really soon if we have enough help. If we don't, we won't do this event. If we do move forward with this event, we'll need to register, we'll request Thrivent Action Money (which takes time) so that we can buy the materials for the craft (which we'll need time for).
Trunk or Treat October
Since the city is having Trick-or-Treat hours, and since hundreds of our neighbors will be walking past our church campus... we'll invite them to stop by! As long as we have enough people willing to come hand out candy, we will have a Trunk-or-Treat event here. We will also need help running the games so please consider helping that way as well. More information will come.
Christmas for Kids Saturday November 15th
We want to have a Christmas for Kids event again. The last few times we've tried this there have been scheduling problems and we canceled it. This year the plan is to try this in November. During the event the kids will make and decorate an Advent Calendar that they can use this year. We will need your help, support, and ideas to make this happen.
Christmas Parade Saturday December 13th
The plan is to have a float in the parade again. We'll need help assembling a float and walking (or riding) the parade.
Sunday School 2025
The next year of Sunday School starts September 7th! We are excited for this new year to start. Please talk with Dave or Pastor if you plan on sending your child(ren) to Sunday School. Each week we will have our service at 9am, snacks to follow and then Sunday School and Bible Study will start around 10:15. Bible Study will be in the worship area and Sunday School will be downstairs.
A HUGE thank you to the teachers and leaders who volunteered to help this year! We appreciate your time and effort for this all year! Thank You!
Thank You! Summer Camp 2025
A HUGE thank you to all the kids who came to our 2025 Summer Camp at Grace Sugar Bush. We had a ton of fun with you all and were glad you joined us!
Thank you to all the helpers who gave their time to make this event fun and run smoothly. Thank you to our friends at Grace in Sugar Bush for joining forces with us for this event and for hosting it.
Summer Camp 2025
We are holding a joint 3 day Summer Camp with Grace Sugar Bush. This year the event will be held at Grace in Sugar Bush. The dates are Monday July 21st through Wednesday July 23rd. To find out more and register, go to this page: stpaulclintonville.com/summer-camp
40 Years Ago
Did you know that our building used to have a simple steeple? The spire was about 20ft tall and made of fiber glass. On May 31, 1985, lightning struck the church causing over $10,000 in damage. Unfortunately, the damage resulted in the spire being removed. The timing seemed unfortunate because the church had already borrowed money from another church for something else, and the insurance covered most, but not all of the cost to repair the building. Behind the scenes the Lord had been working. In the church’s moment of need, they unexpectedly received a gift from someone who was not a member. The amount given was even more than they were first told which allowed the church to repair the roof and pay off the other debt!
If you have more information about the spire, the lightning strike, or any of our church’s history, please let us know. We would especially love to have photos of when the building was younger and had the spire.
Ascension 2025
Help us celebrate Christ’s Ascension, His return to His Heavenly throne! We will have a joint service with Grace Sugar Bush here this Thursday at 6:30pm.
Offerings: At His Ascension, Christ left the disciples with a calling, to go and spread the Gospel message. In keeping with this, any undesignated offerings given during the Ascension service will be given to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary.
Pie: Stay after for a pie social after the service!
Thank You Sunday School Teachers
A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped with Sunday School this last school year. We appreciate all you have done, all the time and effort you gave, to teach the young ones about their Savior! Thank you!
This past school year we had a great crew of kids who came to Sunday School, and even sang a few songs in church. The kids searched for hidden eggs, learned Bible passages, and learned more about their Savior. Our church family is so grateful for the Sunday School teachers, helpers, and leaders for all they have done!
Confirmation 2025
On April 27th a young confirmand publicly confessed his faith and fellowship with our church. He has completed Catechism class with Pastor and has a deeper understanding of what the Scriptures say. Congratulations and God’s Blessings to you, Tysen!
