WELCOME TO WORSHIP
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Paul’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news of God’s forgiveness through Jesus.
PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR TODAY’S WORSHIP
Christ, today help me learn about being a Christian. I often develop a love of bad things, and even a love for good things in bad order. Forgive my sins for loving the blessings of this life over and above you. Refocus me today to put you first in all things and over all things as I remember your value over all things. In your name I pray. Amen.

NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
ST. PAUL’S @ THE COUNTY FAIR
Our church will be manning the WELS booth at the county fair the evening of Wednesday, July 19. We’ve had some great conversations with fair goers about Jesus, have given away some great prizes, and have made some good contacts for church prospects for the area churches. If you would like to help man the booth, please speak with Pastor Groth. (There will most likely be some cheese curds and malts in it for you, too.) If you would like to donate some school supplies for the prizes, please speak with Bart Horstman.
