St Paul hosted Bass Lake Ministry at Melody Drive In on June 7 and Pastor Fakih's message was “JESUS WAS DELIVERED UP FOR OUR TRESPASSES AND WAS RAISED FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION!” 

Lauren Redlin and Julie Hanus presented the children's message that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and we are His sheep. Shay Kasten brought his lamb Sweet Pea and the children learned that Jesus takes care of us like Shay takes care of Sweet Pea.  Shay will soon shear Sweet Pea's wool off and she will look white again.  Our hearts get dirty from our sins but Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins.  He makes our hearts clean again!

We celebrate the Festival of Pentecost as the fulfillment and conclusion of the Easter season. The name Pentecost, meaning “the fiftieth day" refers to the completion of the 50-day period after Easter—and the first in-gathering of believers into the Church. We recall how a humble fisherman, filled with the Spirit, boldly proclaimed Jesus Christ crucified and risen from the dead. We give thanks for the gift of the Spirit, sent by God the Father. And by His Son, Jesus Christ, the Spirit came to continue the Father’s work on earth. 

The children of St Paul presented a program called C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S on Christmas Eve in which  the children displayed a sign for each letter of the word Christmas while the speaker read the word phrase and the matching Bible verse. The congregation sang hymns that corresponded to that letter and the children pantomimed the hymn "Away in a Manger."  The service closed with candlelight and the singing of "Silent Night, Holy Night."  Food, fun and fellowship followed in the church basement as the congregation visited and wished each other a Merry Christmas.
