Worship this Week
Palm Sunday
April 2, 2023
Worship at 10:00 a.m.
The suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus are the central truths of the Christian religion and the foundation of Christian faith. From the earliest days of the Church, the account of the Lord’s passion was read to worshipers on the first day of Holy Week, Palm Sunday. In this way we are able to hear in a single service the entire account of the last days and hours of the Lord’s work to redeem us from Satan, sin, and death. For centuries this day has been known as The Sunday of the Passion.
How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord.

Our Way of Worship
Some of our older members dress up for church, but casual dress is perfectly fine. The Lord looks at our hearts and attitudes, not our clothes. Members support the congregation’s work with offerings, but guests should not feel obligated to participate. Restrooms are located in the lower level of the church.
On two Sundays a month we celebrate Holy Communion, a special meal that forgives our sins as we receive the Savior’s body and blood in bread and wine. The Bible teaches that receiving Holy Communion with others symbolizes our unity in faith, and so communion is offered to St. John's members and members of our denomination.
Bible Class
New Bible Class – How Did We Get Our Bibles?
The Bible did not drop out of heaven with a leather binding and gilded pages. It has traveled a long road from ancient scribes to modern versions. This isn’t surprising given that the Bible is a set of books written in multiple languages by dozens of authors across thousands of years. The books of the Bible had to be copied, chosen, translated, and published to become the Bible we know and trust. Sometimes when Christians discover this story, it can be somewhat of a shock.
Beginning Sunday, March 19, Pastor Tiefel will present a Bible Class course entitled “How Did We Get Our Bibles?” The class will follow the journey of the original manuscripts of God’s holy book to our present day and use. Participants will find the course enlightening and edifying.
The class is held in the St. John’s Center and begins about ten minutes after the end of worship (approx. 11:10 a.m.).
Bible Information Class
Pastor Tiefel is always willing to lead interested friends into a deeper study of the teachings of the Bible. If you are interested in learning more about what God says in his Word, contact the pastor at pastortiefel@gmail.com.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
