“Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed.”                    — Isaiah 1:17

In the January 28th e-newsletter and the February 8th Insert, Pastor Andrea invited us into the shared work of justice and compassion. In response to this call to action, St. Paul’s members are building a community within our congregation to share information, learn about advocacy opportunities, and participate in events to stand up and speak out for a more just world. 

To learn more, contact the office here or call (202)966-5489.

Join us on February 17th @ 6 pm!

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 17th for a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Dining Room and lower Fellowship Hall.

What is Shrove Tuesday, you ask? Generally speaking, it’s a preparation day for Lent, but you’ll have to come to the dinner to find out the whole story! We’ll have pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, and plenty of Lutheran coffee to wash it all down. There will also be some surprises and fun trivia for the kids!

Suggested donation is $5-10 per person/$10-20 per family.

Hope to see you there!
