Brr it’s cold outside! Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 2nd to join us for a congregational soup dinner in the basement of the church immediately following Sunday services! Enjoy an extra helping of warm fellowship while filling up with a warm bowl of soup.
**After the soup dinner, join us for WINTER VBS FAMILY GAME DAY at the Burt Activity Complex. We will have games and fun for the entire family. Come visit and enjoy spending time with other families during the cold weather. We hope to see you all there!! -St. John’s Board of Education
Thank You! We just had the ladies from St. John drop off gifts for my family and Sunday School supplies for Christ the King. This, on top of what St. John's has given us a few weeks ago. My wife and I are incredibly grateful and humbled. We will, of course, be sending a thank you card soon. But, on top of that, if there's anything I (or my family as well) could do to show our gratitude to both congregations, please let me know. We thank God for all of you, for all the assistance, and for having such strong and faithful sister congregations, the zeal everyone has for the Gospel, and the care for ministering to those in need. Thank you!
Rev. Michael McGinley, Christ the King Lutheran Church, Spencer, IA
Thank You Dear Friends at St. John’s for remembering me with Christmas goodies, cookies, cards etc. I always appreciate this. My forgetter has been getting worse for some time, along with my energizer!! This mailing is a nice way for keeping in church. God bless you as you continue to reach out, to encourage and strengthen others! Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Henry Friedrich
