No one who has reservations about meeting publicly or exposure to others need feel left out. We will continue to offer video service via this website and on Facebook, as well as offer family services by appointment.
The January - March Portals of Prayer devotionals (small and large print), are available in the church entryway.
Home-bound family services are available.
If you are home-bound during this time (for any reason) and would be comfortable and interested in an abbreviated worship service consisting of confession and absolution, Scripture readings, a hymn, prayers, and the Lord's Supper (similar to a shut-in service), please contact Pastor Ethridge by email (stpaulslutheranpastor@yahoo.com) or by phone (507)-425-2258. If you would like to gather your family or neighbors together for such a service, consider keeping it a group of under nine (plus the pastor = 10). Such services could be arranged to be held in the sanctuary chapel or at your home for the duration of our cessation of public worship.
COVID-19 Update
St. Paul's Lutheran Church is taking the coronavirus recommendations of our government seriously. Careful hygienic practices are being routinely followed, including before and after services. Our sanctuary is large enough to allow for social distancing practices. In many cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), healthy individuals who contract COVID-19 can and do recover their health.
If you are concerned about possibly transmitting or receiving the COVID-19 virus from someone in a public gathering, as in a worship service, you are encouraged to act on that concern, staying home and engaging in personal devotional time as well as a quality service program such as Main Street Living (see this page below), Lutheran Hour Ministries' radio broadcast (or podcast) of The Lutheran Hour (see the Home page) or our local-cable broadcast of the Sunday morning service on Thursdays. Additional resources for home worship, home study, and home devotions are available from Concordia Publishing House free of charge. www.cph.org
Your thank-offerings may be mailed to the congregation (P.O. Box 384, Fulda, MN 56131).
At St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, we trust the Lord of the Church, who reigns over all the creation, to provide His good gifts to His people through the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Sacraments brought by His Holy Church. We commend ourselves into His hands while exercising caution and care towards those in our community.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:9
