What to Expect at St. Paul's:
We extend to you a warm welcome to join us for worship and our special events. If you are looking for a church home or are just interested in experiencing one of our services, we encourage you to visit us. Here is a brief introduction to our services and what to expect!
Where should I park?
Our parking lot is located beside the church, accessible from Main Street. The primary entrance to the church opens to the parking lot.
Is the church handicap accessible?
Handicap parking spaces are designated by signs located near the primary entrance to the church. The sanctuary is accessible by a ramp which leads to this entrance. Restrooms can be accessed in the back of the church or in the basement.
What should I wear?
Come as you are! We encourage you to dress in the way that makes you feel most comfortable, whether in casual or formal attire.
What should I expect in your worship services?
Our Sunday service at 11:15 am is traditional, following liturgy guided by the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW) and With One Voice (WOV). Your service leaflet, which the usher will hand to you when you enter the sanctuary, provides page numbers (using the acronyms described above) to help guide you through the service. Lutheran worship is made up of both spoken and sung components. We use a blend of traditional and contemporary hymns in our services. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you are confused about the service or need clarification!
Do you offer Holy Communion and can I receive the sacrament?
We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday during our 11:15 am worship service. Holy Communion is offered to all baptized Christians, regardless of the tradition/denomination in which you were baptized. During the service of Holy Communion, an usher will direct the congregation to go forward to receive the sacrament at the altar.
What kind of programs or events do members at St. Paul's participate in?
St. Paul's holds a number of outreach programs, social events, and fundraisers each year that you can participate in. These events include our annual Senior Citizens' Dinner (Spring), Father/Son and Mother/Daughter banquets, Summer Music Festival (August), and Country Kitchen and Craft Show (November).
