St. Paul's Chapel in Iowa City

This Easter, we had many reasons to rejoice at St. Paul's Lutheran Chapel. Among them was the baptism and confirmation of one of our international students -- a lady from China. For safety reasons we are not able to share her name or picture. This student first showed up at the Chapel one Sunday morning, joined us for worship, and has been a faithfully attending the Chapel ever since. As I began visiting with her, she stated that she first learned of God from some American college students who taught an English language summer workshop, so when she came to America she decided to learn more about this God the students had talked about. Since coming to the Chapel she has worked on her English language skills and has diligently studied Luther's Small Catechism; completing her studies the week before Easter. We were very joyful to celebrate her new birth as a daughter of God.  We pray that God will guide and keep her as she returns to her home country.
