We gather on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. Join us for good conversation and thinking.
Gather Women’s Bible Study
This group meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 11 a.m. We use the study in the Gather magazine, published by the Women of the ELCA, as the basis for discussion and sharing. We do not meet in the summer.
Confirmation Class
The Confirmation Class is offered by Lay Ministers, Kathy G. and Craig A. It meets on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 7 p.m.
Confirmation is a two year course of study with one year focused on the Bible and the second year focused on the Lutheran Catechism. The Bible study year includes sessions on the history of the Bible, the life and teachings of Jesus, an examination of the letters of Paul, overview of the rest of the New Testament, and an examination of the Old Testament. The Lutheran Catechism Year includes sessions on Martin Luther’s life, the 10 Commandments, the Apostles Creed, the sacraments of Communion and Baptism, the Office of the Keys, and Confession.
If you have any questions or if you are an adult or youth who has completed 7th-8th grades and has not been confirmed, please contact the church.
First Communion
St. Paul Lutheran Education offers First Communion classes for those children wishing to commune at the Lord’s Table. If your child is ready to prepare themselves to receive all the blessings that God gives us in and through Holy Communion, please contact the church office at (517) 351-8541 or email at pastor@stpaul-el.org to find out more information.
Sunday school
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me.”
St. Paul is blessed with a wonderful teaching staff. Come join us in sharing in God’s Word. Children ages 4 and up are invited to attend Sunday School during the worship service (10:15-10:45).
Our Mission
To equip our children with the Word of God,
To teach them to know and love God and our neighbors,
To learn and follow Jesus with their hearts and minds and
To reach out to others in service and God’s embrace.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” -Proverbs 22:6
Bible study at our Lutheran church is a chance to slow down during the week and listen to God’s Word together in a relaxed, welcoming setting. We meet in a comfortable room at church, open our Bibles, and take time to read, ask questions, and talk about what the passage might mean for our lives today.
Each gathering includes Scripture, conversation, and prayer. Some people come with lots of experience, others are just getting started with the Bible again, and everyone’s voice is welcome. Over time, these simple meetings help us grow in faith, get to know one another more deeply, and see how God’s Word continues to guide and encourage us.
