October 2026
Lamplighter
As the heat of summer gives way to the cooler temperatures and glorious colors of autumn, we can "Be still and know that I am God." We give thanks to our Creator for the precious gift of life!
The month of October leads us into the commemoration of the Protestant Reformation, as it has for over five hundred years for those united in Christ. The Reformation was a momentous theological turning point, freeing the truth of the Gospel to every believer. "Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Scripture Alone." Thanks be to God for the Holy Spirit working through Martin Luther!
We are always thankful for Pastor Rockett's service to us at Saint Paul's, strengthening our faith through Word and Sacrament. We are grateful for Marge Vandervoort and Linda Beddoe, our "ministers of music" for the wonders of beautiful musical inspiration during our worship. Our gratitude extends to Roy Merz for his tender loving care of our church house and its many needs, Russ Muller is always ready to lend a hand at St. Paul’s, making the most beautiful flyers and calendars. Anne Ottomanelli is our highly skilled and dedicated church secretary, an essential part of Saint Paul's mission.
We know God has His loving hands on the people of His church and will eventually lead us where He wants us to be. We pray constantly for His guidance, patience and comfort during this trying time at Saint Paul's.
Remembering God's grace to us in the past, looking with great anticipation to the future, we continue to "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity." 2 Peter 3:18
Grace and Peace from your Elders,
