Here's a brief summary of the organizations and programs offered at St. Paul's. |

| Fellowship Hour |

Each Sunday after worship many of the members join in the fellowship hall for fellowship hour. There are always plenty of donuts or homemade bakery to go along with the coffee or juice--and plenty of conversation and laughter to start out your Sunday on a cheerful note. On the last Sunday of the month you'll find special home made bakery and other goodies. The proceeds of the freewill offering on these Sundays goes to the Camp Luther Scholarship Fund. |

| Community Outreach: St. Paul's maintains an active fund to help members of the congregation and community who have special needs. Recently money for gas was presented to a family to visit a family member in the hospital in Marshfield. Also a family in the community was assisted with a monetary gift after they experienced a devastating house fire. Camp Luther Scholarship: For several years now, enough funds have been raised through the once monthly fellowship hours, youth group fund raising, and member donations so that all children of the congregation who choose to go to the weekend or week long camps could do so for free. Food Pantry: St. Paul's collects and donates to the Thorp Fund Pantry each month. Women's Weekend Outing: The women of St. Paul's have begun a new tradition recently of going on a women's retreat to Camp Luther in September. Volunteer Opportunities: Many other opportunities are available for volunteers at St. Paul's. These include being ushers, greeters, bulletin folders, van drivers, and library aids. | |
