DIVINE CALL
Pastor Brett Nauman has returned the call to serve here at St. Pau’s. We thank him for his deliberations and continue to keep him and Trinity, Keil in our prayers. Pastor Daniel Waldschmidt is still holding the call to serve as our pastor. He currently serves as a professor of foreign languages at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. His email is waldscdw@mlc-wels.edu.
FAITHFUL BEGINNINGS ECC
On Sunday, the voters of our congregation made the difficult decision to close Faithful Beginnings. For whatever reason, we have been unable to attract enough children to make it feasible to continue operating the center. For this reason, we will cease operation on Friday, October 30, 2026. If you have any questions, please reach out to our trustees’ members. They would be happy to talk to you.
SUNDAY SCHOOL BEGINS OCTOBER 18
Sunday school is starting on October 18 at 9:15am at the Hillsboro Campus. If you would like your child to attend, please contact Heather Mobley at 608-475-9688. We would like to make sure there is enough materials for all.

There is also an open position (gentleman or lady) on the Cemetery Committee.
