School & Sunday School Mission Offering
The weekly School & Sunday School mission offerings collected during the first semester are being given to support the work of the WELS Asia One. This team partners with Christians both in Asia, and in the United States, in order to equip, encourage and educate workers to reach more than 1.8 billion unreached souls across Asia. Our offerings will be going to help the work being done among people from Bangladesh. The mission offering total last week was $55.50. The total for the semester is $522.36.
Basketball Volunteer Sign Up
Basketball season is here and this year we have 5 home games that we will be needing various volunteers for.
We are looking for the following volunteers for each home game:
- Set-up
- Scoreboard
- Scorebook
- Hall Monitor
- Concessions
- Clean-up
Please review the available slots on this sign up: Basketball Volunteer Sign Up, and sign up to help out as you are able. We do have an expectation that if you have a child playing this year, that you will volunteer a minimum of 3 times during the season (this is by family, not by child). There will be tutorials provided on how to do just about everything including the scoreboard and the scorebook if that is holding you back.
If you don't have a child playing but would still like to volunteer, you are more than welcome to sign up! Thank you!
Principal Call
A Call was placed to Mr. Joel Lauber who has been a principal for 8 years in Omaha Nebraska along with teaching 6-8 grade. Mr. Lauber grew up in Fond du Lac attending Faith and WLA. He is 40 years old having taught at Good Shepherd since 2006. Mr. Lauber is single, loves the Packers & Brewers, and enjoys spending time with his dog. He also is currently serving on the Governing Board for MLC. Fun fact: He turned down a scholarship at a university for figure skating to pursue his dream of teaching. He would love to hear from you as he deliberates. E-mail at jlauber@gsomaha.com or call 402-213-3068.

Bible Information Classes
Pastor Ehlert is getting a group together for Bible Information Classes. BIC is a great way to familiarize yourself with the teachings of God’s Word, learn more about God and all he has done for us, and serves as the pathway to membership here at St. Paul’s. If you are interested in joining the crew please contact Pastor Ehlert by calling the office or emailing pastorehlert@stpaulslutherannfdl.com.
Piano Available for free if you can move it
We have an older upright piano in the Multipurpose room which can go to any home for the cost and muscle to move it. It isn’t in the best of shape but may be a good learning instrument. Contact a pastor or the office if you are interested.
St. Paul’s Pioneers Car Decals Available
Interested in representing St. Paul’s on your car? We have decals available on the table as you enter the school! It is a free will offering and any money collected will go to the Christian Education Society to help cover costs on events throughout the year.
