Jingle Jubilee

Volunteers are also needed, especially with set up and tear down.

A gift for you - This weekend the St. John woodworkers will be passing out Christmas ornaments after church services. The wood ornaments are in the shape of a Christmas bell to ring glad tidings of great joy to all. Please receive one ornament per family due to available quantity. Thank you! Merry Christmas!

The Mission Board has purchased these Christmas books for the children and families of our congregation. Feel free to pick one up this weekend, and take one to give to a friend or neighbor!

Support Students Attending St. John

We want to extend our heartfelt thank you for all the donations and prayers as we grow our Lutheran SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization) fund this school year. This year, 52 St. John students have received scholarships, totaling over $20,000 in scholarship money dispersed. As enrollment is expected to increase, we anticipate more financial aid will be needed next year. Donations to the Lutheran SGO qualifies for a 50% state tax credit on the total amount contributed. All funds directly help families afford Lutheran education at St. John. The mission of St. John reaches over 220 students, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. This is the Word of God, alive and active in our community. With the help of the Lutheran SGO, so many children more children will be able to experience the love of Jesus and all his lessons in this place, especially His forgiveness, life, and salvation. THANK YOU. If you would like to contribute this year, please follow this link. Donation Options Together, we can continue to strengthen the ministry at St. John Lutheran School, and we invite you to join us in this important mission by contributing to the Lutheran SGO. If you have any questions, please contact Principal Jeff Huntington.
