Wednesday Lenten Service will be held here at St. John's on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. Catechesis class will meet after.
FOR US is our theme for Lent this year. "For Us" is not simply a pithy line to use because it's easy to repeat. It's a confession of who God is and what He brings in giving us His Son. It helps us understand why God would send His Son to die for us. This phrase also captures much of the Reformation's theological emphasis—Luther went from searching for a righteous God and finding only stern rebuke to seeing God in the form of a little baby and as the one who became one of us for us so that we might become like Him.
Lenten Devotional Booklets are now available on the back table.
Schedules for the Lenten Season are also on the back table with dates and times available for St. John's and Trinity!!
Easter Flower Sign-up Sheet is available now on the back table. Please, pay Vickie Madsen when you purchase or for any questions!
Notice to All - Make sure if you are one of the last people out of the church, to check the whole church to see if all the lights have been shut off!! We have had some problems with this happening! Also, be sure that doors are locked! -Trustees

Building Healthy Families: "Don't worry, be happy!…" Remember this catchy little tune from the 80's? God gives us this same message in His Word – repeatedly! – but it's so much easier to say "don't worry" than it is to not worry. Are you (or is someone you know) a worrier? You don't have to be!
