On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with two opportunities to worship. The 8:30 AM service is led with traditional hymns, a chamber ensemble, and the choir. The 10:30 AM service is led by the worship band. Our Easter morning also includes an egg hunt and an Easter breakfast in the gym (9:00-10:30). We invite you to bring a flower or two to decorate our Easter Sunday flower cross.

Now that spring is here, the St. John’s Mission Farm invites you to come help on the farm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to noon. This week we will be planting cucumbers, melons, and zucchini, and next week we will plant corn seed. Everyone is invited; bring a friend. Wear garden clothing, hat, gloves, and a smile!

If we take the scriptures seriously, we will acknowledge that there is a spiritual realm and there are spiritual beings all around us that we cannot see. The Bible is full of references to angels as God’s servants. In this multi-week study, we look at and discuss what the Bible says about these spiritual beings, compare and contrast with the views of popular culture, and what it means for us today.

This Sunday, we continue looking at what God’s Word says about angels and fallen angels. We’ll continue our walk through the Old Testament, looking at angels that appear in the prophets, especially Isaiah, Daniel, and Zechariah. We meet in Room 10 each Sunday after worship at 11:00 AM.

The final book of the Bible offers a powerful message of hope to God’s people in challenging times. Yet its vivid images, metaphors, and symbols can leave us wondering what they mean. We examined the first three chapters of Revelation in our Lenten services this spring, and starting in May, our Sunday Bible class will turn to the remainder of Revelation, beginning with the heavenly vision in Chapter 4. This extended study will continue for several months. Everyone is warmly invited to join us.

Join us for an adventure to Rainforest Falls this summer! St. John's Lutheran Church is hosting VBS for preschoolers through rising 4th graders on June 15-19 (Monday-Friday) from 9am-Noon. Each day our campers will be reminded of God's immense love for them as they travel through Rooted Bible Adventures, run and play at Wild Rainforest Games, create memorable take homes with Rainforest Crafts, and enjoy some of the tastiest treats the Falls has to offer. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. Don't hesitate to invite a friend! In order to offer this awesome week of fun we rely on numerous volunteers and we would love you to consider joining the team this year. Register here!
