Second Sunday after Pentecost
Collect of the Day – O God, You have prepared for those who love You such good things as surpass our understanding. Cast out all sins and evil desires from us, and pour into our hearts Your Holy Spirit to guide us into all blessedness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sunday Morning Bible Study – This summer our Sunday morning Bible study (8 a.m.) will be studying our favorite stories of the Pentateuch (Genesis-Deuteronomy). The title of next week’s study is: “The Fall and Rise of Joseph – Genesis 37-50.” All ages welcome!
Church Roof Fund – Our church roof has been completed and it looks beautiful! We thank God for the work of Jaeger Associates and ask God to bless our updated house of worship for many years to come. We are also thankful that we didn’t have to borrow any money to pay for this project. However, we did pull about $8,000 out of our savings account in addition to using money from our Milts Farm Endowment. We encourage you to consider designating a gift toward the church roof fund in addition to your weekly giving in order to replenish our savings account for the future ministry of St. John’s. Just designate “church roof fund” on your offering envelope.
Daily Prayer Cards Available - Feel free to take a daily prayer card on the back table for your personal or family devotions. These cards include prayer suggestions for each day of the week as well as short prayer services for morning, noon, evening, and night. These prayer cards are a great tool for forming a habit of prayer in your own life, and for starting a daily prayer routine with your family.

The Blessings of Weekly Communion – There are still plenty of handouts on the side table in back of the sanctuary from our “Blessings of Weekly Communion” Bible study.
