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 resume our study of angels in the prophets, focusing especially on Daniel and Zechariah. This study is also an important preparation for the upcoming Bible Class on the book of Revelation, starting in May. We meet in Room 10 each Sunday after worship at 11:00 AM.

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. Everyone is invited; bring a friend. Wear garden clothing, hat, gloves, and a smile!

One of the coolest Sundays of our church year at St. John's is very quickly approaching. Confirmation Sunday will be here on May 3 and we would love for you to join us for Worship at 9:30 AM. We get a chance to hear how Christ is at work through the sharing of Faith Statements from our 5 Confirmands. These are their personal testimonies of the goodness of God in their lives. Please join us in praying for and supporting each of these students in their continued walk with Christ far beyond Confirmation Sunday. 

The Board of Directors is receiving Board nominations for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. There are nine members of the Board of Directors. Four of these positions are up for election this year.  Board members serve for a two-year term and can serve a maximum of three consecutive terms. If you are interested in nominating someone (or yourself) for the Board of Directors, please click on this link to download information about qualifications and responsibilities.  Also included is a nomination form to be completed and returned to the church office, Board Chair Martin Meissenhalter, or Pastor Mike Schmid.

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.

May 17 | 3 to 5 pm | Patio

Get ready for an afternoon of clue‑finding, picture‑snapping, and pizza‑eating fun for the whole family. Clues will range from easy for the littles to tricky enough to keep the older kids and parents guessing.

This is a family event. Kids play, adults stay. Think of it as supervised chaos with pizza at the end.
