East Meets West East Meets West The Red Thread Proverb An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. -Chinese Proverb We are so thankful you are here tonight to support and celebrate St. Paul Lutheran School. You are “connected” to St. Paul Lutheran School, whether you are a parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, close friend, church member, faculty, or community supporter. It takes ALL of us to touch the lives of the students that attend St. Paul. May God lay on your heart what He wants you to contribute to our school’s needs. Please know that you are indeed connected to the students, even if they never know your name or in what capacity you gave of yourself….you will always be connected to them and their future educational growth. We also know that we are ALL connected to God and pray His will is fulfilled in all of us tonight!

PAUL LUTHERAN SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION Sally Sullivan-Shinn, Chair Bobbi Karraker Heather Jo Hawkins, Vice Chair Seth Pegram Bethany Petty, Secretary Elizabeth Jordan 1 East Meets West The Auction Bible Verse “I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast…..in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 8:11 The wonderful thing about the Good News of the gospel is that it is not just shared here at St. Paul Lutheran School, but throughout the entire world. We can ALL gather at God’s kingdom to share in His gift of salvation. On a smaller scale, the students that make up St. Paul Lutheran School come from several local and nearby towns and church denominations, resulting in a unique learning experience and treasured life-lessons in embracing others with a core belief in Jesus Christ. Thank you for being a part of fulfilling St. Paul Lutheran School’s mission in providing a Christ- centered, nurturing, educational environment for our students.
