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.  

Martin Luther (portrayed by Chuck Redlin) paid a visit to St Paul on October 26 and spoke to the children of the congregation during the children's chat.  Martin explained that he lived a long time ago in Germany and helped "reform" the church so that it would teach what the Bible said.  

The Reverend Mark I. Fakih is a second career pastor who graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne with a Masters Degree in Divinity.  He has been serving St Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church since 2010.  Pastor Fakih is married to his lovely wife Luz with whom he shares daughters Carol and Mona.  The members of St. Paul wish to thank him for his service to our congregation and to the Lord!

Easter Sunday 2025 was celebrated by the congregation of St Paul with a sunrise service followed by breakfast in the church basement.

The Sunday School children walked into the sanctuary during the first hymn waving palms similar to the crowds of Jerusalem that waved palms as Jesus passed by riding a donkey.  

The congregation sang "All Glory, Laud and Honor" as the children then stood in front of the altar continuing to wave the palms.
