NOTES FROM THE CHURCH OFFICE:
|
Sunday is our last time to meet for this school year! We will meet in classrooms around 9:50 after the celebration in the gym to recognize all our Sunday School teachers immediately after the 8:30 service. All are welcome to come!
At 10:30, Sunday School will gather in the kindergarten classroom for one final lesson together, so you may pick your children up at 10:45 there.
Last Sunday, the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students shopped for the food pantry. They comparison shopped and using Sunday school funds, they were able to buy $500 worth of groceries for $350. Way to go!!

A good gift plan within an estate includes inheritance for family and gifts to ministry. Some might consider this a difficult task. How does an LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor help? You may wish to include a very deliberate spiritual focus on your plan. Your LCMS Foundation Associate Gift Planning Counselor is a fell member of the LCMS. They can discuss with you, pray with you, all with an eye toward uncovering God’s plan for significant use of His gifts. Contact Ray Pagels at [email protected] or his cell 847.226.2262.

FOOD PANTRY UPDATE: 184 households visited the St Paul of the Cross food pantry in March. Most needed items are paper towels, cooking oil (vegetable, canola or olive), ketchup and mac and cheese. Thank you for your continuing support!

MISSION OF THE MONTH: Military chaplains train and serve with the military units to which they are assigned, both in peacetime and during times of military conflict. Men and women in the military are often under a great deal of stress, as shown by a significant number of suicides among military personnel. Likewise, the families they leave behind experience a large amount of stress when deployments take place. Our May Mission of the Month, the LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces, is an important outreach to the men and women in the military, ministering to them with the Gospel as chaplains serve side-by-side with them.

How the Sausage is Made (Sermon Study) - August 26, 2026
|
|
Romans 12 is not a soft passage. It confronts pride, calls for humility, and asks a harder question than most sermons do: what does faithful obedience actually look like when Christian community gets messy? Pastor Matthew sits down with Pastor Phil Allman of St. John’s in Pecatonica, Illinois, for a sharp, practical conversation about preaching Romans, the tension between law …

True Greatness
|
|
In Matthew 18, the disciples argue about who the greatest will be. But they don't understand what true greatness is in the eyes of God. In this sermon Pastor Matt takes us through the words of Jesus and how they land in our real lives. True greatness in the Kingdom of God looks very different than greatness in the world.

The Things of God
|
|
In Matthew 16 and Romans 12, God's Word gives us insight into the deeply counter-cultural nature of the Christian Faith. Following Jesus looks so different from following the ways of the world, and the Things of God are so much higher and better and than the things below. We have a God who defied convention to die and rise for …
