Pastoral Messages | July 20, 2023

Where is Pastor Sara?

News | July 20, 2023

If you don’t see Pastor Sara in the pulpit or around St. Paul as much this summer, there’s a very good reason why. The Personnel Committee granted her request for a study leave from mid-July through mid-August, taking time way to focus on writing. A…

Farewell to Pastor Megan Eide

News | July 13, 2023

Megan completes her two year pastoral residency at St. Paul on July 16. To say Megan’s next call is a match made in heaven may sound tongue-in-cheek but she is most sincere when she says it’s a spiritual calling. Megan has had a connection with the D…

23-hour workday

Pastoral Messages | June 29, 2023

While vacationing in Wisconsin last week, and out on a morning stroll, I spotted a large red tow truck beside a service garage. What caught my eye and prompted me to snap a photo was the advertising decal across its windshield: 23-Hr Towing. I didn’t…

The shade of a tree

News | June 29, 2023

Serit arbores, quae alteri saeclo prosint. “A person plants trees for the benefit of later generations.” These words of the Roman poet Caecilius Statius (220 – 167 BC) may not be original to him. And, poets, preach­ers, and philosophers have certainl…

Slowing down

Pastoral Messages | June 22, 2023
