Pieces Be With You
This
ministry is a quilting group for those who want to learn how to quilt
as well as those who know how. Quilts are made for young people going
off to college, baptismal quilts, stoles for confirmands, and quilts
for Lutheran World Relief. Please contact Cathy Wrobel, 313.822.1977.
Listening For God
Listening
for God meets the second Wednesday of the month, sometimes at church,
often in individual homes and is open to any woman in the church. The
group reads and discusses contemporary literature and looks at how
issues of faith are addressed in these stories and books. For more
information, please contact Linda Bauer at 586.226.2276.
Naomi Circle
The
Naomi Circle meets at St. Paul on the third Wednesday of the month in
the Bethany Room. They meet from September to June from 12:30 PM to 3
PM. We begin our meetings with coffee and dessert. Then we study from
our "Lutheran Woman Today" magazine monthly Bible study. The study is
written for Lutheran women by Lutheran pastors. Please feel free to
join us for an afternoon of faith and fellowship. Helen Fick can be reached at 586.771.1499 for more information.
WELCA – Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
The
Women of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church are guided by the
Constitution and committed to the mission of the Church, WELCA, and the
South East Michigan Syndical Women's Organization. All women of St.
Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church are welcome to participate. We play an
extremely active role in providing spiritual and financial support to
the Church, WELCA, and many outreach activities. Some examples of
our work include: the annual rummage sale, a spring outing
that is open to all members, and the Christmas cookie walk. They hold
an annual meeting in the fall to review reports, develop plans and
budget for the coming year, and elect Officers. President Liz Jenzen available at 313.882.3986.
WELCA Rummage Sale
The
Church rummage sale is a wonderful annual tradition. It is held in
September and is a very fun event for all age groups. The rummage sale
is organized and operated by the Women of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran
Church. Many hands make the work of sorting, pricing and selling
light. Help is always needed and appreciated. Treasures
ranging from contemporary furniture to antiques and vintage clothing
can be found at the rummage sale. It is very popular with the Grosse
Pointe community and the proceeds are used to fund other Church
activities and outreach ministry. Donations to the rummage sale
can be brought to the church starting in August. Marie Zeller is this years coordinator. Her number is 313.885.5052.
Sociable Saints
For
over 40 years the Sociable Saints has coordinated fellowship
activities. Each year, the Sociable Saints hosts a variety of
activities including an Oktoberfest, a square dance, and an outing to
the Theater or a Tiger ballgame. They have also hosted a progressive
dinner, and a road rally. This group is always looking for volunteers
to help coordinate new activities. For more information, please contact Jack Diesing at 313.882.5988.
Lay Theological Academy (LTA)
Lay
Theological Academy provides ecumenical educational opportunities for
adults in order that they may grow in knowledge, mature in their
Christian faith, and become better equipped for ministry in the world.
The group is made up of eleven churches in the Grosse Pointe area. A
variety of learning opportunities are offered throughout the year. View LTA website. View The LTA Brochure - PDF.
Lenten Dinners
One
of the highlights of the church year is our Lenten Dinners. Served from
5:30 to 6:45 each Wednesday night during Lent, these delicious meals
fill the tummy and the soul! Proceeds from each dinner are earmarked
for different projects throughout the church from Luther League to
World Hunger. The funds raised are matched by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. Make sure to sign up or call the office for reservation!
