9:05 ADULT STUDY - HOW DID WE GET THE BIBLE
The Bible is not just one big book that God handed down to humanity.
Instead, it is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors over a
period of 1400 years. If that's the case, how did we get the Bible in its
present form? Why are some books "in" and yet others were left "out"? How
do we know that what we have is from God himself and not just words
written by humanity? Join us for this 5 week study starting Sunday, March 17,
at 9:05am in Hasz Hall (at the school) as we explore how we got the Bible.
YSLETA CHILI DINNER FUNDRAISER - LAST CHACNE FOR A FEE TICKET!

help us kick off our mission trip.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET YOUR FREE TICKET (one per person) at the church
welcome center or at the school office by Monday, March 11. Have some fun and enjoy
some great food! And if you want to drop a donation in the basket, that would be okay
with us! Any donations will help pay for our food on the mission trip!

THANK YOU SAINT PAUL!
The 7/8 grade girls’ and boys’ basketball teams would like to thank everyone who came out
to support us at the State Basketball Tournament last weekend. We were overwhelmed by
all of the support. The noise level at both boys’ games at Roselle on Saturday was
deafening. The support for the girls’ Championship game was so great, the gym was
“Standing Room Only”. Saint Paul was also awarded the Sportsmanship trophy. This award
goes not only to the teams, but to the Saint Paul Lutheran School AND Church’s amazing
and supportive fans!

DO YOU CROCHET?
Our mission team headed to Africa in May is hoping to take 2,000 witness
puppets with them to help in sharing the Good News of Jesus. We have
yarn and the pattern – we just need your talent and time. We have had
many ask for the pattern so far and could still always use more helping
hands! Contact the church office for more information or to get a copy
of the pattern.
DO YOU LIKE TO SEW?
The Saint Paul Eye Glass Mission Team is seeking sewers to
be a part of their mission project. The team will give a
handmade fabric eyeglass case to each person in South
Africa who receives a pair of eyeglasses. If you enjoy
sewing and would like to help by making eyeglass cases,
please email Sue Husar <[email protected]> for an
instruction sheet. The pattern is easy! You can use your
own fabric scraps or pick up some in the bin by the
nursery. Please return the finished cases to the bin by Saturday, May 4. Any amount you
can sew will be greatly appreciated by the team and by those who are given the gift of
sight in His name.
FOOD PANTRY DONATIONS FOR MARCH

DO YOU HAVE AN UP-TO-DATE AND VALID WILL?
If the answer is “Yes”, you’ve accomplished what many people never quite get around to
doing. Or, you may be one of many people who have been avoiding writing or updating
your will for many years. Some reasons people give for not writing a will:
I don’t have an attorney who can draft my will.
I don’t want to deal with the subject of death.
I can’t afford to have my will done.
I am too young to have a will, I’ll do it when I’m older.
My estate is too small to have a will.
I don’t need a will, my survivors can make the decisions.
If any of these apply to you, you may want to contact Ray Pagels, our Gift Planning
Counselor for free, confidential assistance. He can help you understand why any of these
reasons can fail to justify the absence of a will. He can help you plan gifts to your family
and identify effective ways to transfer the blessing in the best possible way. If you would like
assistance in writing your will, contact Ray at 847-226-2262 or email [email protected].

The week-long sessions will be held the second week of each month (June 10-14, 2019 and

History Camp was developed by trained educators and is overseen by Lindsay Rice, the

"It's a fun way to showcase the history of our community so kids can learn about it in a
hands-on, interactive way."
History Camp sessions will run from 9 a.m. to noon. Cost is $100 per camper, per week.
Space is limited, so don’t miss this exciting opportunity! Reservations may be made through

committed to preserving the history of Mount Prospect, Illinois, through artifacts,
