The St. Paul senior high traveled to Benton Harbor, Michigan recently to work with the Youth Works Ministries. The week long trip included a variety of mission projects in the community. Megan Brotherson, St. Paul's Youth Coordinator, along with Aaron Wych, led the group as they lent many helping hands, learned about giving of time and talents, and had fun working together. For more information on this or other mission opportunities within St. Paul, call 276-2818 or stop by 6426 Merle Hay Road.

A few Sundays ago, the mission trip team had the opportunity to share about their experiences with the congregation.  I know many of you enjoyed hearing from the kids, but we had another team member who we failed to recognize. Aaron Wych graciously gave up a week of his vacation time in order to support and care for our kids through all of the highs and lows that come with any mission trip.  It was a blessing to have a leader with us who models what it means to give of yourself for the sake of others.  Please join me in thanking Aaron for all he does for our youth at St. Paul!
