Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We are now entering our final week of school. What a year it has been! As we have all navigated the storms of COVID, inflation, supply shortages and disruptions, $5.00+ gas prices, and all the other worries of life, it is still important to remember God is in control. We can take joy and comfort in knowing He loves us, died for us, and lives to redeem and save us! The end of the year is always bittersweet, especially for our 8th graders as they graduate from St. Paul and go on to their respective high schools. Please pray for this year’s graduates, that they will finish the year strong, and look ahead with optimism and excitement for what high school will bring. Also pray that they will continue in the faith and not be swayed by the winds of anti-Christian influences in pop culture, social media, their high school peers, and all the other forces at work to pull them away from Christ. These are frightening times, but our Savior is more powerful than all of these other influences. There is always strength in numbers. May God help us continue to grow closer in community and fellowship with one another in our St. Paul Family!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 5-8 GRADE FAMILIES:
The St. Paul 8th Grade Graduation Commencement will be on Friday, May 27, at 7:00 p.m. We
look forward to seeing all 5-8 grade students and families in attendance that evening for this very special St. Paul Family event. Grades 5-7 will be singing at this service and report cards will be handed out to Grades 5-8 parents that evening. For those of you who are new to our school over the past two years, our Commencement service has traditionally been an all- school attendance event. We had to change this during the two COVID years, but are returning to a full in-person event this year. Due to the size of our church sanctuary, we must limit the attendance to the upper grades, 5-8. Grades 5-7 have a special part in the ceremony, and we urge all 5-8 grade families to attend. Please mark your calendars and set other routine events aside so you can be present that evening. Thank you!!
Once again, thank you for your ongoing support in making St. Paul Lutheran Church & School the vibrant ministry that it is. Please keep telling others about the great things going on here. Our mission of “Making Disciples Who Make Disciples” begins and ends with every one of us.
** If you have not yet re-enrolled for next school year, please submit your reenrollment forms as soon
as possible. Some classes have reached maximum capacity for next year and others are getting closer
each day. We are experiencing a significant amount of interest from new families and conducting
tours on an almost daily basis, so please reenroll soon to make sure your child’s spot is secured. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the form and send it back to school. Re-enrolling now also helps us with planning and budgeting for the next school year to ensure all classes’ equipment and material needs are met. **
Some other items of note:
We would love to see you in worship each weekend!
