NEW MEMBERS CLASS
Please join us for an introduction to First Saint Paul's on Wednesday evenings this fall. We will explore together what it means to be a Christian in our post-Christian world and how we at First Saint Paul's can partner together in what God is doing in Chicago. If you are seeking a church home, want to learn more about the Lutheran tradition or are already a member and want to revisit the basics of the Christian faith, you are most welcome. Classes will begin at 7:30PM on Wednesdays (except October 12) through November 9. Upon completion of the class, those who have attended are welcome to become members of First Saint Paul's Church on Sunday, November 13. Please indicate your interest in the class by filling out the "Rite of Fellowship" insert in the Sunday bulletin or by speaking with Pastor Johnson.
