  • Rummage Sale Not Held in 2025

    Due to gym demolition and 2025 construction, our annual church-wide summer rummage sale is on hiatus but will return next summer in 2026 to our beautiful, spacious new facilities (photos here).

  • Shepherd Book Devotions: March-May

    This spring, our congregation joins together for a devotional journey, exploring one chapter in the book A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 each week. Each household is invited to pick up a complimentary book in our church lobbies, with a bookmark outlining St. Paul’s 12-week reading guide.

     

    We'll prepare for the coming week's chapter with a Mindful Monday devotion and a "Flock Talk" home discussion question, and explore the chapter in our Sunday 9:30am Foundation Bible class. While our pastors' sermons will align with the liturgical calendar, they will also weave in devotional highlights from the weekly Shepherd book chapter.


    What We're Reading This Week and Next

    • April 20-26 • Chapter 7
    • Prior to Sun., April 27, we recommend reading Chapter 8: "Your Rod and Your Staff, They Comfort Me"
    • Sun., April 27 Sermon Highlight • Chapter 8
    • Sun., April 27 Foundation Bible study • Chapter 8
    • Chapter 8 "Flock Talk" • Home discussion question: What were you going through the last time you felt unspeakable comfort that the Creator of everything knows you intimately and that, for those who love God, all things work together for good?

Parking Impacts

As we embark on the construction of our new ministry facilities, we will also be adapting to significant parking changes due to new construction zones, trucks, and building materials on campus. 

  • Parking limitations are temporary; when construction is complete, full parking capacity will be restored. 
  • Carpooling is encouraged.
  • For worshipers with mobility challenges, we hope to prioritize use of the 72 remaining campus parking spaces (which include 11 handicap-access spaces) not affected by construction zones.
  • Passenger drop-off is available at the west lobby entrance, with a new temporary exit created.
  • Extra parking is available at Edward Jones, the Village Bar, and at the north-end Schnuck plaza lot.
