As we close out 2025 and prepare for the new year, do it in God’s Word. Join us on New Year’s Eve at 6:30pm as we approach the new year refreshed by Holy Communion and empowered by prayer. This year the service will focus on prayer, a powerful tool for a stronger new year. The service will be led by Pastor Ehlers of Grace Sugar Bush.
Christmas Celebration 2025
Join us as we celebrate our Savior’s birth! Throughout the ages, the Savior was promised and in love He came in the unlikeliest of places. He descended from the glorious throne of Heaven to be born in a stable.
On Christmas Eve we’ll have a lessons and carols candlelight service at 6:30pm.
On Christmas Day we will gather to celebrate with a Festival Service at 9am.
The earth in sure rotation
Will soon bring morning bright.
So run where God’s salvation
Glows in a stable’s light.
As old as sin’s perversion
Is mercy’s vast design:
God brings a new creation—
This child its seal and sign.
Christmas for Kids: Registration Closing Soon
We are thankful for the response we’ve received for our Christmas for Kids event on November 15th. Because of it, we will need to close registration soon to limit the number of participants. This event is being run by volunteers and we have a limited number of some supplies. If you are considering coming, go to www.stpaulclintonville.com/christmas-for-kids to register.
Thank YOU: Trunk-or-Treat 2025
Thank you to everyone who came over and visited us during the Trunk-or-Treat this year! We enjoyed the parade of costumes and playing those games with you! Hopefully you got some great candy and prizes too! Thank you, we love being part of this community!
Trunk-or-Treat 2025
Stop by our campus on Saturday, November 1st from 3pm until 6pm for a Trunk-or-Treat event! We’ll have lots of cars lined up with candy, AND there will be games where you can win prizes like full sized candy bars!
Mission Festival 2025
On Sunday, October 5th, we were blessed to have Pastor Neil Birkholz join us for our Mission Festival. Pastor Birkholz preached and then shared a presentation about the mission work our synod is doing in Asia.
Christmas for Kids Event
We are planning a fun event for kids on Saturday November 15th. From 9am until 12:30pm we’ll have lots of activities and crafts for the kids to do! This event is for kids K4-6th Grade. You will need to register your kids using the form on the page linked below (click the green button).
Thank You Sunday School Teachers
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.
