Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, and for all people according to their needs.
Lord God, thank you for the youth at St Paul’s. Thank you for our parents and grandparents that bring us to church to hear your word so that we can grow in our faith. Continue to help us grow our family at St Paul’s so that we can further our ministry in our community. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Please give us opportunities to share with others how wonderful our church is and help us to have the courage to share God’s love with our community, with people at school or work. Help us to remember the fruits of the spirit when we interact with each other. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Thank you for our pastors and adults who help the youth to grow in your word and who work hard to plan events that allow the youth to have fun and fellowship with each other. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Please be with the people in our congregation with health concerns. Help us to lean on each other when we have needs and to reach out to help one another. Strengthen those that who’s needs are only known to you. We thank you for all our many blessings and be with us through this next week so that we can come back here next Sunday to be together and hear your word. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Into your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy, through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

Visitor Info
If you live in the area or are passing through, please worship with us in-person. For those outside our locale, we do livestream our services into this page, as well as to YouTube and Facebook.
Expect traditional worship with liturgy and Holy Communion each Sunday and a message grounded in the Scriptures and guided by the Lutheran Confessions — all in a friendly, multigenerational environment.
We welcome and encourage children to worship with us. Just before the sermon, our children take up a spare change offering for mission. Then they join one of our pastors on the chancel steps for a chat about today's Scriptures. We think you will love this part of the service.
