Mother Debbi’s first Eucharist at St. Paul’s was wonderful and Holy Spirit-filled. We are so blessed to have her with us at St. Paul’s. We celebrated her with cake, cards, gifts, and a lovely gift certificate to CM Almy. Welcome Mother Debbi!

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is deeply appreciative to the Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte who has honored us with the grant of an AED (automated external defibrillator), signage, a cabinet, AND training in both CPR and AED usage! We are thrilled to make St. Paul’s a safer place to worship and fellowship with this device.
Thank you Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte.

*** Due to the sudden and tragic death of one of the performers on Wednesday evening, Bob Richter, we have cancelled the May First Friday performance. Please keep Bob's family, especially his sister, sons, and their families, in your prayers.
And look for our second year of First Friday Concerts to begin in September. Have a wonderful summer! ***

Performers at this concert will be Nick Bello, Bruce Johnson, Susie Richter, Bob Richter, Charles Steck, Dure's daughter, Regina Smelser, and her grandson, Michael Smelser.

The First Friday concert at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1000 Michigan Ave., has been moved to the second Friday of April, since the first Friday is Good Friday.
On April 14, Leigh Morris, an elder at the La Porte Presbyterian Church, will present “Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord” at St. Paul’s. He will invite attendees to heed John Wesley’s advice about hymn singing: “Sing lustily and with good courage,” as they join with him in singing hymns of celebration, adoration, gratitude, and praise.
He will provide insights about the origin and significance of each of the four featured hymns. John Gouwens, Organist and Choirmaster at St. Paul’s, will be the accompanist. The program begins at 12:10pm and will conclude by 1 pm.
Our icons are finished and were displayed on Easter morning for a blessing. What a fun and challenging journey this has been. Thank you Pastor Kris for your faithful leadership.
In addition to the above services, Trinity Episcopal Church, Michigan City, has invited us to their celebration of the Easter Vigil on Saturday April 8th @ 7:30pm. All are welcome.
