Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services here at St. Paul's, were wonderful ways to celebrate the birth of our Lord!
St. Paul's History: Pastor Mark was at the Quitman house Saturday, September 10, 2011. He was the guest speaker there, and spoke about his newly released book on the 250 year history of St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Wurtemburg.
Disaster Relief Effort at St. Paul's Wurtemburg:
Thanks to all who contributed to the disaster relief collection that took place, to help the flood victims of hurricane Irene in our area. Pictured here are some of the Red Cross workers, who were so grateful to receive our donations!
Confirmation Class: This year's classes continue every other Sunday. Each student takes a turn in opening class with a prayer. Their family makes supper for the class that week, then class with Pastor Mark is held after that. It's a good way for the families to spend time with Pastor and get to know one another better.
Ziegenfuss University: The new semester is well under way and going strong! Join us for this weekly, "college-level" class with Pastor Mark. This year's format is different from years past. Each week, a question is posed by a member of the class, and an open discussion follows. We've had some very thought- provoking subjects this year and some wonderful discussions between students and Pastor Mark. Join us every Monday night at 7:00.
On Memorial Day week end, the people of St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Wurtemburg are honored to remember those who gave up their lives while serving our country. In the cemeteries that surround our church, we have graves of soldiers from every war/conflict, going back to the Revolution. We are grateful to each and every one. May God bless them, their families and friends, always.
Come join our Palatine couple, Carolyn and Paul Drais and view pictures of the grand event held on September 19, 2010. St. Paul's is one of great history and the congregation gathered to celebrate its 250th year in grand style. Enjoy the photos by Barbara King.

On May 24, 2010, our very own Pastor Mike Anderson graduated from Yale Divinity School! What a wonderful achievement! Mike is a Navy Chaplain, who is stationed in Japan at this time. After he completes two years there, he has volunteered to go to Afghanastan. We continue to pray for Mike and ask God to continue blessing this very special man with strong mind, body and spirit! God bless you, Pastor Mike!
Pastor Mark would like to meet with each member of the church this year, for a one-hour discussion on any questions you might have and how the Bible applies to every day life. Please call the office to schedule your meeting with Pastor at the church's parsonage, and sit with him over a nice cup of tea!
