COME WORSHIP WITH US!

SUNDAYS AT 9:30 AM

All services celebrate Holy Communion which is open to all Baptized Christians who profess Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, commune in their home congregations and acknowledge the true presence of Jesus Christ in the Body and Blood for the forgiveness of sin.

Words from the Pastor

Welcome! Thank you for visiting our website. I pray that the information you find here will be a blessing to you. Whether you’re looking for a church home or just curious about the Christian faith, you’ll find at St. Paul a warm and friendly congregation that is waiting to welcome you.

We are a congregation looking upward and onward - centered around God’s gifts, his Word and Sacraments, and sharing the love of Christ with our community in and around Annapolis.

Centered Around God’s Gifts
When we gather for worship at St. Paul, we are not talking about a far-off Christ and thinking about hypothetical and abstract concepts and principles for living. Christ’s promise to us in St. Matthew’s Gospel account is clear: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Mt. 28:20) Indeed, Christ is truly present with us as he has promised us – gathering his Church around his holy Word, shining light into a world made dark by sin.

Each Sunday as we gather for worship and for meaningful Bible Study, we hear that Word of God spoken clearly and relevantly. We gather around his table to partake in the unity, fellowship, and forgiveness given to us in the blessed Sacrament. And we invite you to join us for worship to hear that Word of God for you in your life, and to discover what the love of Jesus Christ means for you today.

Sharing the Love of Christ
In joyous response to receiving the gifts of Christ, we are bold to bring the love of Christ to our community in and around Annapolis. Jesus tells us in Matthew chapter 5, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” And “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your goo works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Mt. 5:14, 16).

We at St. Paul seek to share the love of Christ with those around us. We speak directly to the needs of our community and our world, and declare boldly what Christ has done for all people, not only through our words, but through our actions, through service to others.

So, whether you’re looking for a church home or simply to find out what the Christian faith is all about, we invite you to join us. You’ll find more information about our worship times and opportunities for meaningful Bible Study here on our website. You are always welcome at St. Paul Lutheran Church!

God’s Blessings,

Pastor J.M. Hatcher
