A Note from Our New Sunday School Director
to Kids and Their Families
A little about me…
​
It’s SO GOOD to be back in Sunday School! Working with kids in Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, Read to the Lambs and The Reading Roost at my previous church gave me SO MUCH JOY! I also LOVED teaching kids at Crofton Meadows Elementary for many years! I have really missed doing these things.
​
But I’ve always had my family of three grown-up sons, their wives and daughters as a WONDERFUL part of my life. We were at the beach in June and had a cookout on the Fourth of July. It was SO GOOD TO BE TOGETHER again! My mom and two rescue dogs, Lad, a collie and Sandi, a black lab, live with me and keep me busy. Yes, Lad and Sandi went to the beach, too. Our whole family just LOVES dogs!
​
Growing plants and flowers, feeding and watching birds and squirrels, doing morning devotions, reading, traveling, doing Lutheran World Relief projects, hiking, camping, playing the piano, and singing are other things I really like to do.
​
Looking forward to meeting you…
​
I’M EXCITED TO GET TO KNOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! What do you like to do? How have things changed in the past couple of months? What are your dreams? Tell me about things you enjoy at church and Sunday School, too!
​
CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU OR SEE YOU AT CHURCH! For now, stay safe and always KNOW HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU! WE AT ST. PAUL’S LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU, TOO! LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP YOU IN ANY WAY!
​
God bless!

St. Paul's Youth (SPY) is a group for youth beginning in 6th grade.
The youth participate in fun social activities as well as community service projects and church worship activities.

They also have an opportunity to attend Youth Quake, a weekend retreat for youth in grades 6 - 12.

Teens become established in their faith, empowered for Christian living and enabled to live a life of ministry and leadership.
