We gather today as Gods beloved children to worship our Heavenly
Father. We praise his holy name, we listen eagerly for his words of
comfort, hope, and challenge to us, and we offer ourselves to him
in dedicated service. May you be blessed as you worship here
today.
St. Paul Lutheran Church is a congrega-tion of The Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America (E.L.C.A.). It is referred to as
Borchers since Rev. Henry Borchers, who served our congregation
from 1857-1881, advised and influenced a small group of pioneer
settlers that wanted to establish a congregation in the area. This
year we celebrate 162 years of life and ministry in this beautiful
country setting in Southern Indiana. We look forward to many more
years of growth and change as we seek continually to be faithful to
Gods call to mission.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is offered at the 8:00 a.m.
services on the 2
nd
and 4th Sundays and at the 10:15 a.m. ser-
vice on the 1st and the 3
rd Sundays of the
month. Christians who believe in the true presence of Christ in
the bread and wine for our forgiveness and salvation are invited to
receive Holy Communion.
Sunday School classes are held each Sun-day for all ages at 9:10
a.m. Visitors are welcome to attend.
