Mark Niethammer preaches on joy. Joy is the movement of God’s spirit in our midst. It’s the gifts we’ve been blessed by, the people we’ve been blessed with. God’s spirit has a way of nudging us back into the right place after a time. Today is a day for you to open your hearts to the newness God is bringing about. Joy is here and joy abounds.  

 This past weekend was Joy Weekend at St. Paul. It’s a time for members of the congregation to pledge to the church for the coming year. A pledge to this church is a financial promise. It’s an indication of what you plan to give over the weeks and months in the coming calendar year. It’s an act of love that arises from your appreciation for God’s blessing in your life.
