Lutheran World Relief

St. Paul wants all families to be able to worship together. We will be providing a small table and quiet toys in the narthex during the worship service. This will allow parents, grandparents, and other adults to take children into the Narthex, rather than downstairs, during times when they are not able to be in the sanctuary. We hope this will help keep children and parents connected to the worship service even when they have to leave the sanctuary. There will be no attendant for this area, but help will be provided for families needing extra hands as requested.

We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. This web site has a variety of information about our church and school. If you are new to the Chicago area, or, if you are looking for a place to worship, you are warmly invited to visit St Paul.
Invite your friends...personal invitations
go a long way! When you are coming to church, Bible Study, Sunday School, and other activities invite your friends. They can't say yes if you don't ask them!

If you are a first time visitor to St. Paul please stop by the Welcome Center
after the service - we have a gift for you!
