Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Feature Story:
Little Jesus Sightings!
For the past year at St. Paul’s we have been celebrating the daily gift of Emmanuel—God With Us! As people of faith, we believe that God is actively at work in the world and in our lives. Whether we are at work, at school, at the grocery store, or on the farm, we can spot glimpses of Jesus in ways both big and small. To remind us of God’s presence with us each day, we have been sharing “Little Jesus” figurines and sharing pictures and stories of where Little Jesus is showing up around us.
Over the past year we have distributed more than 600 of these “Little Jesus” figurines throughout the community, and Little Jesus has been spotted around town, in school, traveling around the country, and even outside of the United States!
Through “Little Jesus” we are reminded that God goes with us wherever we go, and we get to share God’s light and love with others along the way. Thanks be to God!
We still have plenty of Little Jesus friends to share, so if you or someone you know would enjoy a Little Jesus be sure to stop by the church office and pick one up!
