Church Ministries
God has given us all different interests and unique talents. At St. Paul we offer lots of ways to use those talents. You can join a committee to further the work of the church. Are you musically gifted? We have several choirs and opportunities for musicians. Are you physically able? You can compete in sports, enjoy some open gym time, or even clean and decorate the church. Like crafts? Join the quilting group. All of these groups let members share their talents for the Lord in their own special way.

Ladies Aid
Ladies Aid meets at 6:30pm on the first Tuesday during various months of the year. Watch the church calendar for exact dates. The purpose of this group is to afford the ladies of the congregation the opportunity to grow in spiritual understanding, to be informed of the activities of the congregation and synod, and to serve the Lord by assisting the church. This assistance has come in many ways, such as outfitting the kitchen, donating Altar Cloths, tables, chairs and other items, and providing meals for various occasions.

Lutheran Women's Missionary Society
Twice a year (May and October) the LWMS hosts a mission rally at an area congregation. These rallies feature a guest speaker from one of our synod's mission fields, worker training schools, or parish service commissions. Special LWMS mission offerings support mission projects that do not receive funds from the synod's budget.

Music/Choir
The adult choir practices every Monday at 6:00 in the choir loft of the chapel under the direction of Mr. Tom Schall. The focus of the choir has shifted over the years, from strictly classical to a mix of traditional, classical, gospel and Christian contemporary. Technology has aided us to this end. Our computer driven keyboard allows us to use accompaniments that range from simple piano to full orchestral tracks. The music styles vary greatly, and all add to our ability to praise God.
