The gospel for this coming Sunday is the well-known parable of the Good Samaritan. Come to worship to consider this story again and to pray that we ourselves will embody such mercy. The bread and wine of the table will strengthen you for such a life.

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.

I continue to hold you in prayer. This has been a Holy Week with so many ups and downs. I give thanks that we were still able to gather on Zoom, but I miss seeing you in person. It definitely felt different to gather in silence on Zoom, knowing that my kids were playing in the background. Still, I give thanks for that time of prayer and worship.
We gather for worship on Easter Sunday knowing that death does not have the last word and that Christ is risen. Worship is on Zoom at 10:30 AM. To join worship, download Zoom and enter the invitation. You may also call in.

Saint John's offers an electronic option to safely make both regular offerings and special donations to our church.
Or if you like to give a RECURRING GIFT, you can now contribute automatically from your checking or savings account through your credit/debit card or by a text message. Our electronic giving program offers convenience for you and provides much-needed income consistency for our congregation. But remember, if you are happy with your current giving method, you do not have to change a thing.
If you no longer want to write 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes, this is a giving option for you to consider. And when travel, illness, or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, this program will allow your regular offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis.
This electronic option allows donations to an array of budget items via a drop-down menu. Some examples are flowers, the cemetery fund, memorials, endowments, scholarships, fuel, and others.
