Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
~ Philippians 4:6
We are excited to
worship God with you!
Every week we gather to remember God’s amazing love for us and to hear and receive Jesus’ forgiveness and peace. During each worship service, we share together in the wonder of the Good News of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection through singing, prayer, the reading of scripture, and preaching. On the first and third Sundays we receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. Everyone is welcome at our Lord’s Table.
A nursery for young children is provided downstairs in our fellowship hall. Parents, who wish, are invited to take children to the nursery following Youth Time in worship.
Sunday School for all ages is at 9:00 a.m.
The church is completely accessible to all persons. Parking is available across from the church. Greeters will direct you to the sanctuary and other facilities.

Bishop Daniel Beaudoin reminds us in this his Bible Study that a long time ago, Nehemiah was called by God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. In the Old Testament, Book of Nehemiah, we read that before Nehemiah lays even one stone; Nehemiah prays. He prays for strength. He prays for protection. He prays for forgiveness. Nehemiah takes everything to the Lord in prayer.
God of justice and joy, as we begin this study of the Book of Nehemiah may we be inspired by your love and transformed by your will to be built into the people you long for us to be. Lead us to grow strong in our daily prayer and in our love for you. This we pray in the blessed and holy name of Jesus. Amen
We will meet on Tuesday mornings at 9 am for six weeks. We begin October 23 at Barry Bagels on Milan Rd in Sandusky (behind Five Guys). Sign-up sheet is on the Welcome Table or just show up for the study.

Sandusky OPIOID Epidemic
Project Noelle is all about helping kids in our area who have been affected by the opioid problem we are having. These kids are losing parents, ending up in Foster Care, and seeing things no kids should see. Their goal is to bring even just a tiny bit of joy to these kids.
On October 28th, immediately following our worship service, we will gather downstairs for fellowship and to welcome a Project Noelle speaker who will share the mission of this special effort.
Saint John's Family and Friends
A Halloween Trunk or Treat in the parking lot across from the church. Join us for the fun of treats, games, and refreshments.
This is a safe & fun trick-or-treating experience for your kids going car-to-car to get their treats.
All these events are geared towards younger children. It is safer than going door-to-door, and you avoid many of the scarier costumes and decorations. And it’s easier on the littlest ones who don’t have to walk as far.
All are invited.
Young Family Eucharistic Ministers
When your child first wished to take the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and you believed he or she was ready to do so, you began to help prepare them to receive the Sacrament. Maybe your child loved talking about communion. Did they have questions about it? These questions and their answers may well have been in your home.
For many of our homebound members, Holy Communion always happens at home.
So we would like to partner families who have youth, with families who are homebound. We ask that you visit the homebound member once every other month and take communion to them. This can happen anytime that fits your schedule!
We hope relationships will form and we can learn from each other.
Interested? Have questions? Join us for a brief discussion on November 3rd at 11:30 before Art and Pizza, or see Pastor Stacy.
Please join us again for a craft, prayer, and pizza on November 3rd from 12-1.
These special times strengthen young people and their families in their relationship with God; help them to grow in their faith in Jesus Christ; and to enjoy and share God’s love together.
All young people and their families are invited.
All Saints Sunday is when we take the time to give thanks for the saints who have shared their faith with us and helped us grow in ours. It is a day when we commemorate those we have lost as well as the Christians who have lived before us and have testified to their Christian faith.
You are invited to bring a picture of someone in your family you would like to remember on this special day and place it on the altar before worship begins.
The SPURS visioning team is offering two opportunities on Monday, November 5th to encourage everyone at St. John’s to share their dreams for St. John’s. Ann Voight, team leader and Pastor Stacy will host two meeting times 10 am and 5:30 pm in the Upper Room.
SPURS is a think tank
where together we dream big dreams and seek God's vision for the future of the congregation. Your dreams and creativity are needed, so please come and join in casting a new vision.

Cornerstone presents a powerful message of reconciliation, healing, and social justice through narration and a wide variety of traditional music. Woven together with newly composed musical interludes, it focuses on our faith and God’s call to follow Christ and serve those in need. The ensemble of 20 singers, 8 instrumentalists, and narrator have presented 463 concerts in the U.S and Canada.
The 2018 production focuses on 3-time Pulitzer Prize winning poet Archibald MacLeish’s famous work describing the 1969 Apollo moon landing: “To see the earth as it truly is, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together; brothers (and sisters) in the eternal cold.” The program will center on Christ’s acceptance, love, compassion and grace for all people.
Cornerstone is the creation of its conductor, DR. BRUCE VANTINE, and consists of 30 professional vocalists, instrumentalists, narrator and staff currently on a 3½ week tour including 22 performances in 11 states across the Midwest and South. Members of the ensemble include experienced professional performers from all over the United States. The group has presented more than 440 performances since 1988, offering unique and uplifting programs which often help raise awareness and funds for charities in the local sponsoring community.
Saint John's is a member of a coalition of Lutheran churches who have been working together since 2003 to make Christ known and facilitate God's mission to our community and in this world. This partnership, formerly called SALM and now called FLAMe, includes Saint John’s, Bellevue; Grace, Castalia; Zion, Huron; Saint Peter, Norwalk; and Saint John's, Saint Paul, Trinity, and Zion congregations in Sandusky.
