Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. We can help! St. Paul is hosting a Blood Drive on October 2 from 9:00am to 3:pm. You can register to give blood HERE.

Our Young Adults Group is starting a new study focused on Knowing Jesus beginning October 1. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month in the Youth Room for Bible Study, plus we get together for fun once a month as well. Any new young adults are welcome to join us! 

Understand Jesus More Deeply by Studying First-Century History and Culture. Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, "Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you." Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you. Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads as she transports you back to Jesus' world, stepping into the footsteps of the women who came face to face with the living God. Over 7 sessions, examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today. The study will be held on Wednesdays, October 1 through November 19, from 9:30 to 11:30 am in Yellow 3. The 19th will be a fellowship day. We begin at 9:30am with snacks and start our study promptly at 10:00am. Signup will be held on the weekends of September 13-14 and 20-21 in the Gathering Space.

We welcome all voices—no auditions required! If you love to sing and want to participate in the special music at St. Paul, we'd love to have you join the Concert Choir, the Worship Choir, or both choirs! To sign up or learn more, call the Concert Series Line at 734-676-2942. 

Concert Choir is preparing for the annual Christmas concert, "Symphony of Christmas" which will be held Friday, December 12 @7:00pm, Saturday, December 13 @2:00pm, and Sunday, December 14 @3:00pm. Rehearsals are on Thursdays @ 7:00pm in the Worship Center.

Worship Choir sings for the traditional services at 5 pm on Saturday and 9:30 am Sunday, usually two weekends per month. There is just one rehearsal, on the Thursday evening before each scheduled performance weekend from 6:30-7:00, and you don’t need to commit to every single rehearsal-just the rehearsal for the weekends you’re available to sing. Any high school aged youth or adult is welcome! Contact Cherie or Kim for the schedule.
