THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER April 14, 2024

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER April 14, 2024 AS WE GATHER We are refreshed in the forgiveness of Christ. Through His Word, our sins are blotted out. This is God’s love for us-in Christ, we are called children of God. The very wounds of Jesus confirm His grief, His sacrifice, His death foretold by Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. His resurrected presence with the disciples leaves no room for doubt. Now repentance and the forgiveness of sins may be declared boldly everywhere, in the name of Jesus. St. Paul Lutheran Church A Member Congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod We greet and welcome all guests and visitors worshiping with us today. We hope that the message you hear today will strengthen your understanding and faith in God’s plan to save us from sin and death through Jesus Christ. If you are visiting with us for the first time, please introduce yourself to Pastor Mat. If you are without a church home, we invite you to join us here at St. Paul.
