2025: The Year of Listening
Memory Verse: Isaiah 55:3a
"Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live..."
Welcome to 2025: The Year of Listening. Our focus in 2025 is to learn the sacred art of listening. Listening to God. Listening to Ourselves. Listening to Others. And Listening to the Community.
Summer Worship Hours: Please note summer worship times will change beginning June 1st thru September 7th. Sanctuary worship will switch to 9:30 a.m.
Live Stream Worship: St. John's live streams its worship each week. You DO NOT have to be a member of Facebook or join in order to watch the service. Thank you to those who keep working to improve our online worship.
In this season of Hope, Council asks the congregation to pray that people at St. John’s, keep our hearts and spirits open to new opportunties.
Congratulations to our 2025 grad! Valerie Deehr graduated from BGSU yesterday, May 3rd with a degree in Life and Earth Science Education, grades 7-12. Valerie will be working at the Wood County Park District this summer and has applied for a Naturalist position with the park system. Keep Valerie in your prayers as she enters the next step in her profession.
Scripture and Prayer: We will meet at Parkvue Community at 12:00 noon on June 4, 2025.
St. John's is a family of disciples, faithfully making Christ known. We gather for worship, we care for our neighbors, we pray and study together. And now, we are going to have a month of fellowship! You are invited to join the fun!
Please sign up for each of these events so that we can make reservations. Lunch, you will pay for your own meal, and each event will have a small charge (less than $20). At Colonial Gardens, we will be potting some beautiful plants. At Island Sham, we will be making our own candles. With Cherished House to Home, we will meet at the church and do a painting project. We will volunteer with OHgo. We hope you will join us!
May 15 is canceled

Giving Garden Planting Time! Spring is here and it’s time to plant St. John’s Giving Garden. Planting date is Saturday, May 17th at 9:00 a.m. The Giving Garden supplies many vegetables to help feed the communities of Sandusky, Huron, and Norwalk. Your help will be needed over the next few months with planting, watering, weeding and harvesting. Let us share the love of Christ with our neighbors from the bounties God supplies. The Giving Garden is one of St. John’s God’s Work, Our Hands ministries! Please see Jeff Justi if you would like to help with this important ministry at St. John’s.
Scholarship Fund Drive: During the month of May we will be raising funds for the St. John’s Scholarship Fund. The funds benefit members of the congregation who are continuing their education beyond high school. We need your financial support to ensure that scholarships will continue to be available. Donations can be mailed to the church at 106 Scheid Rd., Sandusky Oh. 44870. Be sure to make the check out to St. John’s Lutheran Church and on the memo line put Scholarship Fund. Scholarships will be available in June.
We need your help! We still need readers, ushers, and communion assistants most weeks!
