St. Paul's welcomes all who seek God in community.  We challenge one another to grow in spirit and compassion.  We invite all into joyful worship, service and learning.  Christ claims us through Water, Word, and Meal so we are gathered, forgiven, fed, and sent to be workers with God and all creation in the redemption of the world.

Pastoral Fellow

Rev. Peg Otte

We are thrilled to welcome back our good friend, Pr. Peg Otte, as our Pastoral Fellow for March and April.  Over the past two years, Pr. Peg has twice served as our Pastoral Fellow (Spring 2024 and Autumn 2023), and prior to that, served as our interim pastor during 2019 after Pr. Tim McKenzie moved to North Carolina. Pr. Peg and her husband Randy are long-time Evanston residents who raised their three now-adult children here. Pr. Peg previously served at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Prospect Heights and St. John’s Lutheran Church in Wilmette, has served as an interim minister in this synod, and for many winters, served at Shepherd by the Sea, a joint Episcopal/Lutheran congregation in Gualala, California. She is delighted to return to St. Paul’s this year for the beloved seasons of Lent and Holy Week.
