A welcome to you from our pastor
Please know that I am excited
and honored to be the pastor here at St Paul. My prayers are to
enjoy our time getting to know each other, to celebrate our new
relationship, and to relish the anticipation of what our future
may hold as we journey together as God's beloved and as
followers of Jesus.
God longs to give us a new
beginning toward health, healing and happiness. In a world that
is diseased and sinful, God gives us the wine of gladness and a
balm for healing. What a way to start writing a new chapter in
the treasured mission of St. Paul Lutheran Church and
School!
We have a new beginning to
celebrate! God has given us each other. He has given us Jesus.
He has given us newness of life. That is something to
celebrate!
Yours in Christ Jesus,
Christopher Otten
