WELCOME to everyone, especially our guests.
Your presence is important to us.
St. Paul’s is an evangelical Christian
congregation, embracing historic Christian
teaching on all doctrines, centered on Jesus
Christ. Our desire is to bring the Gospel both
to those who are searching for answers to the
meaning of life and to those who desire a
closer relationship with God. We here at St.
Paul's have chosen to align ourselves with the
teachings of the Lutheran Reformation, due
to the clarity with which these help us to see
the true meaning of God's Word.
Specifically, St. Paul's is a ministry of the
Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod, one of
America's truly biblical churches!
• Members and guests: please fill out an
attendance card and place it in the
offering plate to indicate your presence
today. For Holy Communion, please read
our confession and indicate your
agreement with our beliefs by checking
the box next to the names of those
communing.
• Those sharing our beliefs, especially from
parishes in fellowship with us, are
welcome to receive.
• If you desire Holy Communion but hold a
confession differing from that of this
congregation, please speak with a Pastor
or an Elder.
• Non-communing, baptized children are
welcome to come to the table for a
blessing.
Please note: Half the inner circle of individual
glasses in each tray contains water with one
drop of communion wine for those hesitant to
drink larger amounts of wine. Those glasses
with wine are rose in color. 2

THE LORD'S CUPBOARD INVITES YOU, NEEDS YOU AND THANKS YOU The third Monday of each month is the pantry and also the free community meal. Every member of St. Paul's is invited to come and eat and enjoy the fellowship of the people who come for the meal. This month, on 11/18, we will be making a traditional Thanksgiving meal-please join us!
Items of food that will be needed for the Thanksgiving food bags are: canned green beans (125), boxes of stuffing (125), cans of gravy (125) and boxes of mashed potatoes (125). Please put any of these items into the Lord's Cupboard bins located in the Fellowship Hall or outside of the Gym. We will need these items by Friday, November 15th.
Another way to help the Lord's Cupboard is to buy any gift cards, for gifts or for your own every day use, through the SCRIP program, which you get the full amount to use for the card, and we get a small rebate for each gift card purchased (Gas, Grocery, Entertainment, Clothing). Stop in at the church office for the form or go to www.splco.org, under the school tab�family resources�fundraising�Great Lakes Scrip.
Please continue to pray for all the families that the Lord's Cupboard is able to help and for the volunteers-thank you for your continued support!

THANK YOUTHANK YOUTHANK YOUTHANK YOU This is a very special thank you to everyone who helped in any way for the Christmas bazaar.
Whether you helped by decorating, setting up, donating bakery or baking items, working in
any way at the bazaar or helping in the clean-up--all was greatly appreciated. You are all a
blessing from God and we are very thankful for all of you! The bazaar again was very
successful and we couldn’t have done it without God and everyone by our side. A majority of
the money raised by the Ladies Aid goes back into helping St. Paul’s Church or School.

PULL TOGETHER!
“Pull Together for the Ronald McDonald
House”, sponsored by the Ronald McDonald
House Charities of Eastern Wisc. Inc., is a
program designed to fundraise monies to help
support the Ronald McDonald House.
Ronald McDonald House is a “home away from home” for families of
seriously ill or injured children. Since the doors opened in 1984,
more than 34,000 families have called the Ronald McDonald House
in Milwaukee home. On average, over 1,000 families have been
served each year.
It’s easy to participate in tab collection here at St. Paul’s as a way
to offer support to this worthy cause. Simply save up your pull tabs
and bring them to church/school. Each school homeroom has a
canister where these pull tabs may be placed. The other option is
to put them on the collection table just outside the kitchen door.
This collection is on-going, so do what you can to
get everyone collecting!
If you have any questions contact Debbie Prange at
262-966-4953.
