WELCOME TO We encourage you to share in the life and
ministries of St. Paul United Church of Christ. Enjoy the experiences of this
church with its rich heritage, dating back to the beginning of New Bremen in
1833. Please feel welcome to join into any of the diverse programs that
appeal to you and to your family. We the people of
EDUCATIONAL BUILDING
When the day of Pentecost had come, the believers were all
together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the
rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were
sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue
rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. [Acts 2:1-4a]. Every year in
Confirmation, we read the Pentecost story in Acts of the Apostles several
times throughout the year. My prayer is that our young people will, by the
time they are confirmed, have a sense of the Holy Spirit working in their
lives. St. Paul United Church of
Christ will celebrate Pentecost—the coming of the Holy Spirit—on the weekend
of May 18 and 19. Because the liturgical color for Pentecost is red, I
encourage you to wear red to worship that weekend. What does it mean for us
to be filled with the Holy Spirit? What does it mean to be led by the Spirit?
How can we live as Spirit People? This I believe: when we
are open to God’s gentle breath and
God’s gale-force winds, our lives will change. We will be on fire—wanting to
share God’s love in new ways. We will be people of prayer—offering our lives
to God. We will allow ourselves to be shaped and molded by God’s grace. Truly, the month of May is
a Spirit-filled month at St. Paul UCC. We roll out the welcome mat to the
community for the Confirmation Reunion on May 5. Our Spirit Safari Club
children will lead worship on May 12. You are invited to participate in the
Blessing of Animals on May 19. Our
SALT Leaders, Megan Hanenkratt and Kelsey Davidson,
begin their ministry among us on May 22. The Holy Spirit will be joyfully
dancing among us! So, come to church! The
Spirit is alive! Come and be filled! Pastor Becky PASTOR BECKY IS ON FACEBOOK! Facebook is an excellent way to stay in touch
with one another. It has three helpful features: wall postings, private
Instant Message chatting, and private inbox messaging. St. Paul United Church
of Christ has a Facebook page online that is
updated weekly. Pastor Becky also has a Facebook
page. You are invited to “like” the St. Paul UCC/New Bremen page and to
“friend request” Pastor Becky. PRAYER
CHAIN If you have a joy or concern you would
like lifted up in prayer, the Prayer Chain is ready and available. Please
contact Pastor Becky at 419.953.1152 or berbstrang@stpaulnb.org with your
prayer request. You are also invited to join this growing ministry. All are
welcome! PRAYER
TAPESTRY Sometimes prayers that weigh on our
hearts and minds need to be expressed tangibly. A Prayer Tapestry is
available in the sanctuary (near the refreshment table). You are invited to
choose a ribbon or cloth from the basket that represents your prayer, weaving
it into the tapestry. Together, our prayers are a thing of beauty! |
