From Mr. Aaron Wellhoefer:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,  

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers over the past week as I deliberated the divine call extended to me. Knowing that God has a plan for my future, I trust that He is leading me in the right direction. After prayerful consideration, the Lord has led me to accept the call to be the sixth grade teacher and athletic director at St. Paul Lutheran.

In His Service,

Aaron Wellhoefer

From Mrs. Kristin Nelson:

Dear Members of St. Paul, 

Thank you for extending the call to me to teach kindergarten. I have learned so much of the early childhood world in my eight years of teaching 3K/4K here at St. Paul. I am eager to use that knowledge and experience in the kindergarten classroom as I accept the call to teach 5K.

You may not realize that God has blessed St. Paul with an incredible teaching staff! It's amazing to see the way that God continually uses our varied assets and skills as we work together. I am excited to continue working with my colleagues here to strengthen our early childhood program, so we can best share God's plan for salvation with our students, families, and community.

Philippians 1:4-6 - "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Serving the Lord with you,

Kristin Nelson
