Join us for our first Hot Topic on October 5 at 9:00 AM, where David Lilley will speak about Suicide Prevention.
David Lilley is employed by CMSU at its Peer Run Crisis Residential program as well as the Peer to Peer program. He is also a suicide attempt survivor. His advocacy for suicide prevention at the local, state, and national levels began in 2004. David's recovery story is featured on the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline website.
We're delighted you're taking this important step to become part of our church family!
Our New Member Orientation will take place following worship services on October 5, 12, and 19, with new members being welcomed into our congregation during worship on October 26.
During these three sessions, you'll dive deeper into what makes St. Paul's special - our mission, our ministries, and our shared life together. We'll help you discover meaningful ways to contribute your gifts and talents, whether you're already drawn to particular areas of ministry or excited to explore new possibilities. You'll also connect with other new members who are on this same journey.
Our meetings are warm and conversational—a chance to ask questions, share your story, and learn about the commitments and joys of membership at St. Paul's. We'll provide all the details you need as we prepare for your official welcome in October.
We're genuinely excited to welcome you and can't wait to see how God will work through you in our congregation.
Questions? Pastor Dietmar and Pastor Grace are eager to connect with you.
