St John's will be initiating a call-em-all service that will call everyone on the list if we have a cancellation of Church services due to weather or schedule changes in the church service due to the vacancy. This system can also be used for Church reminders of special events or upcoming meetings. The phone number listed in the Annual Report for 2015 were the numbers used. If you would like your cell phone number used instead of your home phone, please let the church office know. With this system we hope to get everyone informed in a timely manner in case the radio does not announce it soon enough. Church Council

Did You Know: Butterflies taste with their feet. Starfish don't have brains. Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump. A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death. All of God’s creatures are amazing but the greatest of all is…you! But unlike animals, we are created in God’s image. (Genesis 1:27) Each human person from the moment of conception is uniquely created by God, in His image and known by him individually. Hard to comprehend? Yes. But true? Yes! I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. (Psalm 139:14) Lutheran Family Service
