FIRE!
On Tuesday, April 6, lightning struck our sanctuary and caused a fire. We initially thought the damage would only be moderate, but two afternoon flare ups resulted in considerable smoke and water damage. As a result, we are unable to use our sanctuary while it is gutted and rebuilt. For pictures and a write-up on the fire, click here: Fire Report
FOR MORE PICTURES AND REGULAR POSTS: We now have a church Facebook page with lots of pictures up. Look for "St. Paul Lutheran Church - Harvard, IL"

TUESDAY, JULY 20, UPDATE:
...
We have a Dedication Date set! On Sunday, August 15, we will have our regular 9:00 AM service in the lower level; then, that afternoon, we will formally rededicate our sanctuary and new organ! This will be in a 3:00 PM service; a celebration dinner will follow. ALL are invited!
PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS AND WATCH THIS SPACE!
While the work in the sanctuary continues, we are still worshipping in the lower-level Parish Hall. It IS handicap-accessible; enter on the street-side lower entrance.
We are also now on our Summer Schedule! On SUNDAYS, our worship services begin at 9:00 AM. Sunday School will resume on September 12th.
