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
- Prior to Sun., March 30, we recommend reading Chapter 4: "He Leads Me Beside Quiet Waters"
- Sun., March 30 Sermon Highlight • Chapter 4
- Sun., March 30 Foundation Bible study • Chapter 4
- Chapter 4 "Flock Talk" • Home discussion question: What are some things you can incorporate into your daily routine to remember your Baptism?
- Chapter 4 Mindful Monday devotion • Read here

Whether you bring someone along or come by yourself, you are sure to enjoy this special morning.

2024-2025 construction
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.
