With gratitude and joy, we invite you to join us for a special Ribbon-Cutting and Rededication Ceremony of the St. Paul Gymnasium—a place that has long been home to teamwork, learning, and faith-filled fellowship.
This celebration will also honor the life and legacy of Mr. Geoffrey “Coach” Hoffmann, who faithfully served St. Paul Lutheran School for 43 years as teacher, coach, and mentor. His dedication, humility, and kindness touched generations of students and families, shaping not only athletes but Christian leaders.
Following the ceremony, guests are welcome to enjoy refreshments and stay for the evening’s home basketball games—a fitting way to celebrate both community and competition in the newly rededicated space.
Looking ahead, the next big improvement will be a new entrance off the parking lot for easier access. We’re also planning to reconfigure the locker rooms and bathrooms to improve flow. Concessions will be relocated to the main floor.

As much as we try to cope with life circumstances, sometimes we need a little extra help. Our pastor(s) are experienced in sharing God’s healing Word in every situation. They are willing to offer assistance and/or recommend professional counseling if needed. Our church has short-term counseling services available at no cost to our members when referred by one of our pastors. The services are provided by Christian Family Solutions Counseling Care & Services. Contact the church office (608-372-2347) if you wish to schedule a time to meet with pastor about your needs.
Wishing everyone a blessed 2025!
