Friends in Faith began in 1980 when a group of busy women at St. Paul’s responded to the need for a group devoted simply to Bible study without customary structural hierarchy and attendance constraints. Originally, the group used the name “Martha Circle”, which changed to Friends in Faith (FIF) as needs evolved. Charter members included Carolyn Bennetsen, Nettie Mae Freudenberg, Beverly Goldman, Debbie Higgins, Elva Keilers, Kay Marburger, and Betty Schmidt.

FIF seeks to practice its Christian commitment by observing, planning, and meeting special needs within the congregation, in our community, and globally. Every Christmas we make fruit baskets for all of our homebound members. Some of our other projects include Peru and our sister church Emanuel, the prayer garden at St. Paul’s in memory of our FIF member Diane Macaulay, Turtle Wing, St. Paul LYO, WELCA, Relay for Life, international students at Texas Lutheran University, Ukraine, and other interests in and outside of our community.

We meet on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 pm at a member’s home. We welcome anyone who wants to attend! If you need more information, feel free to contact Carolyn Bennetsen, Kathy Toensing, or the church office.

When:  Most Wednesdays

Where:  St. Paul in the Fellowship Hall

Time:  6:30 pm

LYO is a High School Youth Group for kids from across Fayette County. We seek to minister to youth of all backgrounds and beliefs by providing opportunities for growth, community, and acceptance. We meet most Wednesdays at St. Paul in the Fellowship Hall at 6:30 pm. We share dinner together before getting into some activities and a lesson for the week. At the end of the night, youth are invited to share what’s going on in their lives with each other. Whether a youth has been a part of St Paul or another church their whole lives, if they are a complete newcomer to the Christian faith, or anywhere in between, they are welcomed here! All we ask of you is that you be yourself and respect others for being themselves too.

If you would like to receive updates about this group, you can join the LYO Remind Thread by texting “@lyok” to 81010. If you have Instagram, you can find us at @lyostpaul.

Second Chance Emporium provides financial support for local human services organizations with the profits generated by the resale (thrift) store, which is run by a coalition of eight local churches representing different denominations.

Begun in 1996, Second Chance serves all of Fayette County. We moved into our new building in January 2020. The majority of the work is performed by unpaid volunteers from the member churches, as well as the community at large. These churches receive no monies or in-kind donations from Second Chance for the service hours their parishioners donate. Second Chance accepts donations of items in good, working, usable condition from the public and resells them at very low prices in order to benefit the underprivileged members of our community. Profits from the sale of these items are distributed to local charities which have applied for funding and been selected by the Funds Committee of the Second Chance Emporium Board of Directors.
