AS WE GATHER
Heaven is not a place where the saints of God retreat after
living in the darkness of this world. It is not a retreat center
or country club for those who believe the right thing and
now have an eternal retirement. No, heaven is not God’s
retreat for the dead. Rather, heaven is God’s advance, his
siege of the planet earth. For Christ did not come to rescue
us from earth, but instead he came to rescue earth itself.
19TH ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
Please join us on May 16 at 5pm and May 17 at 8am for our Annual Music Festival featuring
the Gloria Deo Choir and Laudate Ringers. Don’t miss one of these music filled services to
close out the choir season. It’s the perfect opportunity to BRING A FRIEND! We have chosen
some of our favorite pieces again this year and our wish is that the music draws you closer
to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
ARCHIVES NEEDS YOUR PHOTOS

couple and the wedding date. Photos can be put in the Archives box in the Worship Prep
Room or submitted online at [email protected] by May 25. Photos will be returned.

the new school office manager beginning in June. Although Shelley will be greatly missed
at the church office, we are excited that she will continue to be a part of the Saint Paul

CHARITABLE, CHRISTIAN PLANNING REFLECTS OUR FAITH
The opportunity to include charitable giving in the estate planning of U.S. citizens is largely
overlooked by the vast majority of people in our nation. We hope that more people will
continue to do in their death what they have done during their entire lives; namely share
love with family members and support the work of the Lord. But, if a person waits until they
are no longer able to make their own decisions or until they die, charitable planning is not
likely to happen. Contrary to popular myth, a person can witness their faith and support
ministries without disinheriting their family. To learn more about charitable giving, contact
Ray Pagels, our Christian Gift Planning Counselor at 630.259.8471 or [email protected].
Save the Date for Five Wishes Day, Wednesday, May 27, in Luther Hall, at 9:30am.
