FEBRUARY 2016/MARCH 2016

“Called by Christ, United to Serve” St. Paul Lutheran Church & St. John Lutheran Church

Coming this Lent: Artisans of the Crucifixion A series of dramatic monologues that will provide a unique perspective on the events of Jesus' crucifixion. Viewed through the eyes of a Blacksmith, Carpenter, Stone Mason, Tanner, and Basket Maker, we will meet those who crafted the whip, wove the crown of thorns, forged the nails, constructed the cross, and chiseled out the tomb.

Come share the journey!

Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016 Holy Communion and Imposition of Ashes 10:00 a.m. at St. John Lutheran Church 7:00 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church

Wednesdays from February 17 – March 16, 2016 10:00 a.m. Lent Worship at St. John Lutheran Church Noon: Community Lenten Lunch & Devotions – First Presbyterian (Each week a different church hosts the meal)

7:00 p.m. Lent Worship at St. Paul Lutheran Church



February 9, 2016 5:00 p.m. The men of St. Paul will host a Shrove Tuesday dinner with pancakes and sausage. Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday. It officially marks the end of the season of Epiphany and the beginning of Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent. Traditionally viewed as a day of repentance, Shrove Tuesday has become the last day for celebration and feasting before the period of fasting observed during the Lenten season. The name "Shrove Tuesday" is derived from the word "shrive", which means to confess and receive absolution. The name denotes a period of cleansing, wherein a person brings their lusts and appetites under subjection through abstention and self-sacrifice. Everyone is welcome.

PAWS PROGRAM The Paulding Ministerial Association Churches will once again be providing an after school program for 5th grade students at Paulding Elementary School. We need our local churches to partner with us in order to have another successful year of mentoring and loving our elementary students! PAWS program began Wednesday, January 13th from 3-4:30pm. If you are available to come and hang out with 5th graders on Wednesday and want to volunteer, please contact Tera Thompson @ (419)670-3386. If you are able to donate snacks, we will use any/all individually wrapped, peanut butter and nut free snacks. The students LOVE having a healthy snack and feeding their stomach helps us to minister to them. Please drop off snacks to the Paulding Nazarene Church office any time over the next few months.

Outreach at St. John Once again this year, we will bring in non-perishable food and personal care items and/or cash donations to feed the people of Paulding County through our food pantries. As you shop for your game—day feast, please add a few items for others. Please bring your donations to church by February 7, 2016.

During Lent, our emphasis will “Baskets of Promise,” a collection of personal care kits for Lutheran World Relief. Each kit contains:

One light or medium weight bath-size towel (approx.. 52”x27”) dark color

Two bath-sized bars (4-5 oz) of soap, any brand, in original wrapping

One adult-size toothbrush in its original packaging (toothbrushes in multi-packs may be used by sealing an individual toothbrush in a business-size envelope – no plastic bags, please.)

One strong comb

Nail clippers

In March we will begin collection “College Care Packages” for our college students. As they near the end of the school year, they really appreciate snacks, etc. to keep them going.

Gideon’s Day On Sunday, February 28, 2016, St. Paul Lutheran Church will receive a special offering to support The Gideon’s. Please feel free to place your special offering in the offering plate clearly marked “Gideons.” This offering will be sent on to support the work of Gideons International.

Join us for our first Movie Night at St. Paul on Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. The movie this month will be War Room.

Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy a good movie, some refreshments, and conversation.

Synopsis: With great jobs, a beautiful daughter and a dream house, the Jordans seem to have it all. Appearances can be deceiving, however, as husband Tony flirts with temptation and wife Elizabeth becomes increasingly bitter, crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. Their lives take an unexpected turn for the better when Elizabeth meets her newest client, Miss Clara, who encourages the couple to find happiness through prayer.

(This movie is rated PG.)



PASS Basketball Marathon (Formerly known as Paulding County Crippled Children’s Society) We need high school students and junior high students to participate in this year’s Basketball Marathon for the Paulding County Crippled Children and Adults. The dates are March 25 and 26. We will find out the exact time for each team the week before the marathon. Please email Pastor Karen if

you are planning to play.

LIFE’s Easter Egg Hunt will be at THE GARDENS

with Assisted Living residents on March 27. The congregation is invited to take a bag of empty eggs to fill and return. Suggestions for egg filling: candy, Bible verses, pocket change, etc. Easter eggs are in a large BLUE plastic container located in the narthex. Eggs need to be filled and returned to the church by March 20. If you have any questions, contact Joan Mapes at (419)399-4525

Paulding Elementary School Participates in both the Box Tops and Labels for Education programs, which have collectively helped America’s schools raise over $514 million in cash and merchandise. Every year, our students and supporters collect thousands of Box Tops and Labels for Education points, which we can redeem to support the many educational and physical programs at our school. Last year, Paulding Elementary raised about $1750 in cash from Box Tops. This year, we would like to partner with your church to help support our school’s efforts. If you are willing to save the packages from participating products for us, we will recognize your company as a supporter of Paulding Elementary. We can provide a collection container, stop by frequently to pick up packages and clip the Box tops and Labels ourselves. All you need to do is drop the packages in the container. We are also collecting can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. If you would like to partner with us in this great cause, we would appreciate your support. Please contact me to discuss what we can do to follow up on positive and supportive partnership.

Sincerely, Stephanie Tear, Principal Paulding Elementary School

The Stewardship Temple Talks seemed to be well received.

Dan Wilder was elected to serve as president once again in 2016.
