St. Paul Lutheran Church (ELCA) has been serving the Pensacola, Florida area since 1956. We are a diverse congregation comprised of local residents, active and retired military personnel, and permanent and seasonal residents from all other parts of the country. Through a wide variety of activities and ministries for the members of our congregation, we offer many opportunities for worship, fellowship and service to our community. 
Lent Prayer and Confession
The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Lent is a season of repentance. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God’s invitation to attentiveness: “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.” The landowner’s ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener’s readiness to till the ground one more year. That is good news for all of us. Thanks be to God!

Eyeglasses are donated to the Lions Club Vision project, and are refurbished, graded, and given to various organizations who help people all over the world.

Books are taken to Open Books, and the paperbacks are processed for the prison ministry, and hardbacks are sold to raise funds for this non-profit. There is a huge need for paperback books 

If you are looking for an opportunity to participate in a mission at St. Paul, the Social Ministry Committee needs your enthusiasm, your ideas, and your hands. Meetings are usually the 1st Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Contact the chair, Regina Gibbons, or any committee member if you have any questions, or to share an idea.
Lenten coin folder donations will go toward Mission to bless Camp Happy Sands and the Good Gifts collection for chicks.

ELCA Good Gifts Program:
​Chicks Make a Big Difference

During Lent, the Sunday School children will be learning about the joys of giving by donating their coins to purchase chicks through the ELCA Good Gifts program. Eggs are not only an ongoing supply of protein-rich meals, they also help bring in steady income when sold at the market. To see how we are doing, please look at our display on the bulletin board near the library during Lent. Every time a child brings in enough to purchase a chick, they will add a chick to the barn yard.
Let’s see how many chicks we can add to the barnyard!

If you would like to join in our efforts, please put your offering in an envelope marked CHICKS and put it in the offering plate on Sundays during Lent. (Note: $10 purchases ten chicks.) Thanks for your support.
