Christ is risen! Easter is the high point of our church year, in fact the early church considered every Sunday a mini-Easter. This year we celebrated Easter with a sunrise service featuring readings, songs, and a reading of Romans chapter 8, a powerful chapter. Afterwards we shared a meal, played some games, flew some paper airplanes, and enjoyed the joyful atmosphere. Then there was a festival service that included a special anthem by the Sunday School and the choir.
Thank you to everyone who made this Easter festival, and all of Holy Week, special! Thank you for those who helped prepare, serve, and clean up the breakfast. Thank to the singers. Thank you to those who faithfully maintain our building and keep it clean. Thank you to Todd, our sound guy, and Onan our livestreaming cinematographer. Thank you to the ushers for serving. Thank you for everyone for coming. Thank you Pastor for you extra week these past weeks and your partnership with our congregation!
Holy Week is at the heart and core of our faith because here we see the pure, undeluded, agape love of God. This week we see Jesus rightly praised. This week we see Jesus willingly and resolutely go to the pain and punishment of the cross. This week we see the weight of our sins. This week we see Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God as the final sacrifice that makes us right with God. This week we see Jesus, who is God, forsaken by God. This week se see Jesus die and be buried. This week we celebrate the Jesus rose, proving His victory and His deity. This week we celebrate that our God has redeemed us, He has paid the price so that we are right with God! Join the emotional roller coaster as we celebrate the greatness of God.

Thank you Pastor Tristan Paustian for coming to Clintonville today, leading us in worship, and sharing God's Word with is this morning.
Pastor Paustian currently serves our brothers and sisters in Christ down in Hortonville. Pastor preached at St Paul Clintonville on March 3, 2023.
On February 23, 2023, our church family celebrated a neat ministry milestone. Our pastor, Pastor Caleb Rothfuss, preached his 100th “career” sermon! Pastor Rothfuss has often says he enjoys preaching and well, we enjoy listening to it. Pastor Rothfuss does a great job preaching meaningful messages that are rooted in Scripture, applicable to our lives, and that beautifully balance the law and the Gospel. After the sermon and the service we enjoyed special snacks and decorations to remind us of this ministry milestone. Here is a poster that has most of his sermon titles/themes listed. We hope and pray that this is the first of many, many more ministry milestones like it.
On Thursday, March 23rd, we will have a special and important meeting with Grace Sugar Bush to plan a summer Event for kids. The meeting starts at 6:30pm AT Grace Sugar Bush. Our goal that night will be to do the initial planning for a summer VBS event. Please plan on attending and helping plan an event to encourage young Christians in their faith.
Due to weather concerns, our 2/22/23 Ash Wednesday meal and service are being postponed until the next day. On Thursday, 2/23/23, we will have our shared meal at church starting at 5:30pm, our Ash Wednesday service with Communion will start at 6:30pm, and then we've rescheduled the summer planning meeting with Grace Sugar Bush to start that night at 7:20pm. Please be safe in this winter weather and remember that you can always livestream the worship services. Those videos are streamed and saved here on our Facebook page and on our YouTube page.
Lent is a powerful time of the church year when we prepare our hearts for Christ’s sacrifice. Listen to Jesus' as He willing and resolutely walks to the cross for us.
Join us Wednesdays, in person or virtually, for a shared meal starting around 5:30pm. Following that will be a short service starting around 6:30pm. The focus of these services will be on “His Final Steps”. The series ponders the significance of the people and places on Jesus’ resolute final steps to the cross and three days later, his first steps from the tomb. Like in years past, the Pastors from our area will rotate so we will see some of the Pastors from nearby WELS and ELS congregations.
Here at St. Paul Clintonville we are blessed with those willing and wanting to serve the Lord and His Church. Whether their service is seen or unseen, thank you for all you do!
