Winter Weather 3/15/26

Brothers and sisters,

As I'm sure many of you have seen already, the weather tonight (3/14) and tomorrow (3/15) looks bleak to say the least and the number of inches of snow seems to be increasing every time I check the weather channel. 

Out of an overabundance of caution for your safety, the leadership has decided to cancel in-person worship tomorrow (3/15) and provide an online-only service in its place. This abbreviated service will be livestreamed at the same time at 9am, so please tune in then!

Here is a link to our YouTube channel where the service will be livestreamed: https://www.youtube.com/@st.paulclintonville6439

Here is a link to our Facebook page where you should be able to find the service as well: https://www.facebook.com/stpaulclintonville

If you know someone who does not have access to this email or Facebook, please let them know about the cancelled service as well.

So stay safe and warm tomorrow at home, get ready to shovel lots of snow, and tune in to the livestream at 9am! 

God's blessings to you all! See you online!

St. Paul Clintonville

WELS Long Range Plan

Our church is part of the WELS, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The name is historical because this confessional Lutheran church body has congregations across the country and missions across the world! The synod has worked on their long range strategic plan and have released new information. Please watch the video below (featuring some familiar faces and places), and also take a look at the long range plan website: christthroughus.net/

Lutheran Leadership Conference 2026

On some cold January days, members from across our synod gathered in Chicago. Around 1,600 sisters and brothers in Christ attended the WELS National Conference on Lutheran Leadership, which was near the capacity for the location! Pastor Rothfuss, along with a third of the pastors in our synod attended this year. Of the total attendees, 56% were lay leaders, including Chuck. The Lutheran Leadership Conference was a great opportunity for us to walk together as a synod as we work to better serve out the mission of the Church. Attendees learned from each other through several keynote presentations and specialized breakout presentations. To find out more about this conference, visit lutheranleadership.com, or take a look at the page linked below to view videos from the conferences. The organizers have already started posting videos of the presentations from this year!
