Collect of the Day – O God, the giver of all that is good, by Your holy inspiration grant that we may think those things that are right and by Your merciful guiding accomplish them; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Thank You from the Hauan’s – Dear Friends at St. John’s, thank you so much from the Hauan family concerning the farewell you had for us this last Sunday. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the lovely ministry you have going in Burt. You have all been so supportive to our entire family through some tough times, and for that we are grateful! Finally, thank you for the gifts you gave to us as we transition out. We will miss so many of you, but I know we will see each other again. That is the beauty of our faith, hope, and love we have in Christ Jesus. God’s blessings to you all from Pastor Hauan, Jill, Julia, Cal, and Hazel!
