Pastor Russ and Susan as they open the next chapter in their lives.

Life can be difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers who provide one-on-one, confidential, Christ-centered

support during life's challenges. Whether you're

experiencing grief, illness, or another hardship, a

Stephen Minister can walk alongside you with care

and prayer. If you or someone you know could use a

listening ear and spiritual encouragement, contact Linda Johnson.

After Worship Social Time NEEDS Volunteers to bring treats!

Sign-up sheet is at the Welcome Center.

Approximately FIVE dozen treats are needed each Sunday.

Coffee and napkins are provided by St. John.

Door Policy for Sunday Mornings:

The Livestream Team is looking for more people to help out. They will work with your schedule. You only have to run the livestream on Sunday morning during worship. If you are interested in learning how to run the livestream, please reach out to either Tara in the office or Kurt Hoeft.

THANK YOU to the Building and Grounds Board as well as the Save the Bell Committee for an excellent job of completing the Save the Bell project! Now all who visit St. John can enjoy seeing this amazing piece of St. John history and learn about it.

From the Kitchen Renovation Crew:

As we have been cleaning out cabinets for the renovation, we have come across many items that are no longer useful for our kitchen. Some items just needed to be discarded, but other items could still serve a purpose in another home. These items are on display in the Parish Hall and are for sale for a free will donation. All proceeds will go toward the Kitchen Renovation Fund. Check back periodically as more things will be added as we progress. The items will be available on Sundays as well as during the week.

Song Requests

If you have a song or hymn request, please write it on the back of your attendance slip or notify the office or Melanie. We will work to add it to our worship schedule.
