Senior High Youth
St. Paul's Lutheran Church offers a variety of events to help young people grow in faith, community and service. Join us on Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings to hear about all that is going on with the senior high youth. All are welcome.
Girls of Grace
A new girls devotional group has begun at St. Paul’s. The group is being led by Chelsea Weigmann and Nicole Beer, both elementary education majors at Wartburg College. The girls devotional group will be meeting on Sunday afternoons at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church for the next eight weeks. The group will focus on teen issues such as female imagery, self esteem, friendships, dating, relationships, and spiritual discipline. The girls plan to meet weekly, do some journaling, and plan a couple “just for fun” activities.
