As our calling is to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to feed and clothe the needy, the St. John Mission Board is collecting your donations in support of Wheeler Mission of Indianapolis.

There is a “giving tree” in the commons with hearts on it naming an item needed. You can select one or more of these hearts to provide the item named and return your gift to the commons collection box.

We will be collecting items from Feb,11th through March 12th. The Mission Board will be delivering the gifts to Wheeler Mission the week of March 12th.

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matt. 25:40)

Lunch & Learn - Join us Thursday, March 2 at 11:00am. Camille Cox, Deaconess from Christ Lutheran Church and Deaf Ministries, will speak. Due to her responsibilities, she will need to begin her presentation earlier than usual while the lunch is being served. Cold cut sandwiches will be available and everyone is asked to bring a side dish and/or dessert. Also take note that the free will offering will be donated to these ministries since a Thrivent Grant is helping to support meal costs.
