Are all of your children still at home and are they all included in your membership record? Do you want your record published? If you have not already informed the Church Office about changes to your record, please let us know now so that the information in the Guide Book & Directory is correct. Thank you for your help!

The Lutheran Scholarship Granting Organization (LSGO) is a program that allows individuals and businesses to reduce or eliminate their state taxes by funding scholarships for families wanting a quality, Christian education. Donors can receive a 50% state tax CREDIT up to their total state liability. For example, if a person donates $5,000 to the LSGO, they will receive a $2,500 state tax credit. Since St. Paul’s has participated in the LSGO, our students have received over $100,000 in scholarships thanks to our generous donors. If you are interested in helping make a Christian education possible for our families and getting the benefit of a state tax credit, contact the school office at 219-836-6270 ex. 200 or visit LutheranSGO.org/Donate or click here for the brochure.
