Worship with us this summer as we explore God's word in new ways! June will be focused on the Apostle Paul's journeys and the lengths to which he went to spread the news of Jesus. In July we will be focusing on what we believe and different statements of belief. Our August series will be "People's Choice" so, August is where we

need your help. We are interested in what you would like to have the Pastors preach on in August. Beginning in mid June, we will have a place that you can submit your favorite bible story, a section that you have questions on or a bible story that you want to hear more about and the Pastors will select a few to preach about during the month of August. Join us for worship at 9:30 Sunday mornings this summer. We are excited to worship with you!

Make Paynesville Lutheran Your Church!

If you’re new to PLC and have been wondering more about our

congregation or would you like to know more about what it means to be a

member of our worshipping community, please plan on joining us for our

upcoming New Member Gathering. We’ll share some information about

our church, our beliefs, our mission, and the ministry we share!

If you’re planning on attending, please call the church office and indicate

your intention for either of the upcoming dates.

Total offering was $6,756. In kind offering report is as follows: school kits - 2,134, Quilts - 941, Fleece tied blankets -169, Baby care kits - 532, Personal Care Kits - 300, Fabric kits - 88, Soap - 126 and LUK shipping #200+. Hope Harbor (a home for girls) was the supported agency, received donations of $520and 96 packages of toilet paper and paper towels.
