Multiplying light

Pastoral Messages | November 28, 2018

In the great plains of South Africa, there’s a poor farming community called Nieu-Bethesda. One of the small houses stands out from the rest. The yard is full of statues – cement camels and mermaids, wise men and angels, and lots of owls. They are bi…

Gathered at the table: Kathleen Sciacero

News | November 26, 2018

One might say that our family’s commitment to faith isn’t restricted by distance. We have a 65-mile drive to worship and confirmation classes when we travel to St. Paul. The ministry offered here alone is worth every mile traveled. I can still rememb…

Missed connections

Pastoral Messages | November 21, 2018

Flying can be an isolating experience, which is ironic because airports and airplanes are usually crammed full of other people. But when you fly, your own needs and wants take up a substantial amount of space in your mind. Do you feel that way, too?…

Take a moment and think of a favorite dish from holiday dinners of the past. What did it taste like? What was it served in? Who made it? Who was gathered around the table. So many times, food serves as the foundation of some of the most important mem…

News | November 12, 2018

Carol was confirmed at St. Paul (many years ago), but we joined St. Paul as a couple after moving to Eldridge from Moline. We were looking for a church that offered the traditional Lutheran liturgy, varied opportunities for worship and service, an ac…

Rehearsing faith

Pastoral Messages | November 6, 2018

Growing up, I took piano lessons for the better part of seven years or so. And yet, if you sat me in front of piano today, about the only melody I might be able to produce would be one half of the Heart & Soul duet. Or maybe, if I had enough time…

Gathered at the table: Al and Sandy Hutson

News | November 5, 2018

We have found St. Paul to be a friendly, welcoming place to worship from the very first day we attended. After that first service, more than five years ago, we sat in the narthex enjoying a cup of coffee, while observing people greeting one another w…

Light in the world

Pastoral Messages | November 1, 2018
