Programs at St. Paul's Lutheran Church (Wichita, Kansas)

Programs at St. Paul's:
"DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS"
At St. Paul's, member programs and activities are known
as "Discipleship Groups." Many Discipleship Groups are
active right now that provide a perfect opportunity for
fellowship and community service. Give the church office
a call at 316.263.0810 for more information on times,
dates and locations.

Altar Guild
This is the behind the scenes group that makes sure that
our Sunday worship experience is prepared. We currently
have 2 crews that serve 2 months at a time. With
Communion 2 times every Sunday, they put out a lot of
effort. If you are interested in helping, please let Elaine
Harvey know.

Bible Studies
An Adult Bible Study is held every Tuesday afternoon.

St. Paul's also features a Sunday evening Home Bible
Study on the 3rd Sunday of each month with a meal. The
Bible Study begins at 6PM and is followed by dinner. The
group is studying the Book of Acts. If you are interested in
participating, please contact the church office at 316-263-
0810.

St. Paul's offers a Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study,
which is held between the two Sunday church services,
from 9:45AM to 10:15AM.

Choir
We have a Church Choir that sings every Sunday during
the school year. We meet Wednesday nights at 7:30
downstairs in the choir room and sing a variety of music
carefully selected by our fearless leader Frances Sloan.
This is NOT a closed group, and we welcome anyone that
wants to make a joyful noise!

this program. If you would like to help in some way and
don't know how, please give Pastor Dave or Leon a call at

SPROUT - St. Paul's Raising Offspring Up
Together
SPROUT is a group hosting kid friendly activities away
from church to give our little ones time to spend with each
other.

Please, join us this year. Activities are announced well in
advance. Most of the events are free of charge and often
1/2 price admission coupons are available, in order to
keep costs down.

We meet at the entrance of most places and determine
meeting places for things like the River Festival Parade.
Give Deb Ary a call if you can join us, so we know to wait
for you at the gates (316.686.3569 or
mooseandmouse@cox.net).

If you have any questions or ideas for things to do, or
would like to help organize SPROUT, please give Deb Ary
a call at 316-686-3569. We will add our service
component after we meet a few times and let our little ones
brainstorm on ways they can make a difference.

St. Paul's also features a monthly home Bible Study for
families with children.

Saturday Breakfast Crews
Come join a breakfast team. We prepare and serve
breakfast for our community and get to know each other
much better. 120 free single ride bus passes are also
provided to those in attendance. We always have a great
time and can use a variety of workers, servers, cookers,
dishwashers, minglers, and the like. We usually start
around 7:00 A.M. St. Paul's week is the second Saturday
of each month. The first Saturday is held at Fairview
Christian Church, the 3rd is covered by Reformation at St.
Paul's and the 4th Saturdays are shared by NuStar, Christ
Lutheran, and Lord of Life at St. Paul's as well. Gloria Dei
will serve on the 5th Saturdays. Thank you to all who
serve!

our very own Maria Guadalupe Aleman. There isn't a skill
level needed to start, just come on by. The Spanish class
is currently on-hold. Please, contact the church offices at
316-263-0810 for additional information.
