DISCOVER CAMPaign OKOBOJI We are still asking for donations to build the new Crafts Building a reality. This will be the last Sunday to donate to this fund through St. John’s. You may send your contributions to Camp after today. Envelopes and more information are on the table in the back of the church. Place your contribution in the offering plate today.
Building Healthy Families: Great families, like great marriages, don’t just happen. They take work, sacrifice, commitment and lots of prayer. If your family isn’t as strong and happy as you would want, consider gathering everyone together and asking this question: What do we want our family to be? Gather everyone’s answers which might include things like, “We are a family that loves to spend time together” or “We are a family that doesn’t yell” or “Our family never leaves anyone behind”. Pick the top 10 you all agree on and post them on the refrigerator for all to read regularly. See if you don’t start growing into your vision! Lutheran Family Services
