Welcome to St. John's Lutheran Church



 
During the summer and into the fall, Sunday worship reviews and remembers Jesus’ words about living as Christians—how we think and work and relax as children of God. Looking for answers to life’s practical questions? Seeking direction for these difficult times?

Worship with us at 10:00 a.m.

Worship this Week


September 25, 2022
 
Worship at 10:00 a.m.
 
 
What seems to help in life fails in death;
What seems to fail in life helps in death.
 
The value of wealth must be measured against the value of faith on earth and especially for eternity. In the Gospel for today, Jesus tells a story about two men, a man of wealth and a man faith. The man of wealth lived in luxury; the man of faith lived in poverty. Because he cared nothing for faith, the man of wealth endured the agonies of hell. Because of his faith, the poor man lived with God in paradise. We Christians must carefully consider the value of wealth and the value of faith.


 
 
How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord.

Our Way of Worship

Our Sunday worship follows a worship pattern used in Christian churches for almost 1,500 years but in contemporary language and a variety of styles. The entire service is printed in an easy to use folder. We hear readings from the Bible and join together in prayer. We sing psalms and hymns found in a hymnal called Christian Worship which contains hundreds of well-known hymns. The high point of Sunday worship is the message or sermon, a twenty-minute explanation of a reading from the Bible and its meaning for our lives in the 21st century.

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.
