The Board of Christian Education (Parish) will be supporting the mission work of Sarah Longmire (Former Student at St. Paul) in Thailand.  Several weeks of Sunday School offerings will go to support a daycare center where Sarah works which is in desperate need of help.  The Board will also recruit Sunday School teachers, and serve dinner at kickoff of the fall midweek program for public school children taking confirmation classes.  They will organize a family bowling event in the winter, the Hearts For Jesus Program, and serve one dinner before a service during Lent.  They will serve the 8th Grade Confirmation dinner in Spring, along with planning for Vacation Bible School.  The last project is to provide scholarships to approved applicants attending one of our LCMS colleges and seminaries or Valparaiso University.  Contact any member of the board if you would like to lend a helping hand.
