7:30 p.m.: All are invited upstairs for the Holden Evening Prayer service in the church’s chancel. This is a beautiful evening service that lasts approximately 35 to 45 minutes.

Lenten Devotional Center
As St. Paul's begins its Lenten journey you are encouraged to look over the devotional materials that will be located in the portico starting on March 9. You will find Lenten devotional booklets for adults, families, youth, and Lenten activity materials for the younger children. Please look over the items and take the devotionals home with you. May the booklets serve as a source of spiritual guidance throughout the forty days of your Lenten journey to the Cross.
First Communion Instruction Begins March 2
Pastor Tom and Vicar David will be leading classes on the Sacrament of Holy Communion beginning March 2 during the Sunday School hour. The Lord's Table is open to all children who are baptized, and there are no age restrictions in the ELCA. If your child reaches for the bread or cup, they know it's good stuff and they want some. Join the church staff in teaching them how they can participate fully. Instruction will last for three weeks, with First Communion Sunday taking place on March 23. Please contact Pastor Tom at tomholt@stpaulslutherandc.com or Vicar David at
