Advent Devotions, 2019

null

While we will still be enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers the season of Advent begins!
Sunday, December 1st we begin our Advent journey to Christmas, celebrating Jesus' birth. 
One tradition for individuals and families is to have a special devotional time either daily or weekly, marking the days until Christmas. Here are some resources to help make Advent special this year:

  • Advent devotional booklet from Lutheran Hour Ministries - this daily devotional, "Call His Name Jesus," takes just a few minutes each day and can be used privately, with a family or small group. Click HERE (Call His Name Jesus) to download a copy you can print or just read on your computer (HERE is an eReader version, Call His Name Jesus)
  • A Nativity Coloring Craft - This craft allows a family to color and put together a simple Nativity scene to be used during Advent and Christmas time. We will provide the basic kit with instructions at St John that you can pick up. (we will also be sending a kit home for each family at school before Thanksgiving.)
  • Our Worship services for December will focus on the Advent theme "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" as we see Old Testament names for the Messiah and prepare to celebrate Jesus birth at Christmas. We have traditional worship each Sunday at 9:00 amd and a more informal worship time each Wednesday at 7:00 pm. 

Blessings this Advent and Christmas season!

STEWARDSHIP at St John 2019

null

Gracious Act of Giving   
2 Corinthians 8:7

This past week we have begun our focus on stewardship, an essential part of being a follower of Jesus. God has graciously given us all things and we respond with our “gracious acts of giving.” When our individual contributions are brought together, we can accomplish much more for the mission and ministry of St John. How is God moving you to “gracious acts of giving”?
You will receive a letter in the mail with more details and encouragement about your stewardship at St John. This letter will contain a Pledge Card, a tool to help you consider how you can contribute financially to the ministry of St John. We ask that you bring your Pledge Card to worship on Sunday, June 16 or Wednesday, June 19.
  • Blessing of the Pledges – June 16 & 19 - Bring your Pledge Cards to worship (or return to the Church Office) as we ask God’s blessing on our ministry at St John.

Thank You - National Youth Gathering Team

A huge thank you to the members of St John, Mount Olive, and St. Mark!

Because of your support sponsoring youth, buying pizzas, attending the meat raffle, and eating delicious chicken dinners, we have raised the needed funds for our trip to Minneapolis this summer for 12 youth and adults in July.

Please pray for safe travels and for the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of our young people.
