The Chrismon Tree - Chrismons are white and gold Christian monograms and symbols. The name is a combination of "Christ" and "monogram". The white symbolizes joy and holiness, while the gold represents glory and royalty. The symbols carry meaning and are meant to teach about Christ and the faith of the Church. Each week as we move through Advent toward Christmas several Chrismons will be added to our Chrismon Tree.


Christmas Angel Tree Gifts need to be returned to the church unwrapped in the bag provided by Sunday, December 14th. If you can help deliver the Christmas Angel gifts, please contact Lee Coleman.

St. Paul’s will host a Community Carol Service on Sunday, December 21st at 4:00 pm. Invite a friend and come sing in the Christmas season.


On the Third Sunday of Advent (December 14th) the people of St. Paul’s are invited to a punch and cookies drop-in at the home of Brent and Cindy Norris from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm.

A form to donate flowers for the Christmas Service is in the bulletin.

On Sunday, January 4th at 3:00 pm St. Paul’s will host a concert by Grammy Award winning Organist Dr. Isabelle Demers. Dr. Demers is known internationally for her virtuoso organ playing. Please make plans to attend.

Blessing Box - We are in desperate need!!!!
