Student Recognition Sunday

Recognition Sunday

Welcome Home / Student Recognition Sunday was celebrated on December 27th at Saint Paul Lutheran, with many students returning to participate in the worship service. An informal meal was also held the previous evening to honor students and give time to make some reconnections with friends and the church staff. Many students read scripture, lead prayers, and served as ushers or greeters. Marguerite and Brianna DeFore led the children’s message and Beth Swanson and T.J. Rydeen preached for the day. Eighteen students from many different kinds of schools and colleges were represented. Members of the congregation should also know that 37 students have received education grants in the amount of $500 per semester this year from the Ernst Fund Scholarship program that is administered by the Memorial and Grants Committee. This year we also broadened the invitation to Welcome Home / Student Recognition Sunday in order to include all post-high students, whether in school or not. This was a great day and fun to see so many return. God bless all who seek to serve God and the world through vocation.
