  • When a church has served the community for almost 100 years, there are a great many "feel good" stories that come to light. A recent tour of St. Paul was such an event. Lana and Neil Day along with their two daughters Emma and Tori were visiting the church accompanied by Bob Becker, the uncle of the girls. All are residents of Alberta. Uncle Bob pointed out that the baptismal font had been donated to St. Paul in 1955 by the great grandparents of the girls. He added that both girls had been baptized there. Church records showed these services took place on Oct 14, 2001 for Emma Jane (born on June 2, 2001), and for Tori Lynne on December 19, 2004 (born on July 22, 2004). It proved to be an exceptional experience for these two young ladies to see where such an important event in their lives occurred. We encourage tours such as these as we near our 100 years

  • Our church continues to be active in the community. St Paul Lutheran is responsible for the service held the first Wednesday of every month at the seniors' home. We are ably represnted by Shirley Young, Joy Assmus, and Doreen Bennett.

  • Rev. Kendra Diehl from Minnesota took time out of her busy schedule to visit St. Paul when she was in this area. She has taught and ministered throughout North America for over 25 years. She now serves as the Director of Spiritual and Character Formation at Masters Institute Seminary in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. A graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, she holds a Masters degree in Divinity from Masters. Kendra is currently working towards a Doctorate in Ministry at Fuller Theological Seminary. She was on her way back home to Minnesota from Alberta when she dropped in for a quick visit. She was gracious in her praise for our church and prayed that we continue to strive for growth.
