Urgent Announcement Regarding the Coronavirus and St. Paul Lutheran Church
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, All worship services and all activities at the church are cancelled until further notice. This also means the outside workday scheduled for this Saturday, April 4 is cancelled. During this time, the office is also closed. Please do not stop by the office as no-one will be available. Please contact the church via email as emails will be checked frequently. If you have a member emergency, you may call Pastor's cell and leave him a message. While the church is closed, mail will still be picked up and offerings accounted for and deposited weekly. Sermons through out April will be recorded and posted on the Sermons tab above and the church Facebook page. Please check these as well as your emails to stay connected to St. Paul. Stay safe and stay in touch with each other. God’s Peace be with you all and may you continue to stay healthy as we self-distance our faith community. St. Paul Lutheran Church 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. |
The grumbling of the Pharisees and the scribes in today’s gospel is actually our holy hope: This Jesus welcomes sinners and eats with them. That our God wills to seek and to save the lost is not only a holy hope, it is our only hope. As Paul’s first letter to Timothy reminds us, “The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Thanks be to God.
