Flowers on the altar this weekend are sponsored by Kristy Booras, thankful for God’s many blessings; and by Jim & Kayla Mertz in honor of grandson Lucas’ 15th birthday.
The 2016 Flower Chart in the west hallway is filling up, but there are still many dates available. If you would like to remember a special date or person with flowers on
the altar, please sign up today!

Classes will begin each Sunday at 9:40 AM in the Nazareth Room, and conclude at approximately 10:45 AM. Please plan to attend all three classes to take part in the full St. John's 101 experience!
Majesty Choir is rehearsing for the Easter Cantata, “The Rose of Calvary” and the
members would like to invite YOU to join them in this important ministry. Easter comes early this year! A change in rehearsal schedule was suggested last fall, so we are switching times. Choir will rehearse Sunday music from 6:30 -
7:15 pm and rehearse the music for the cantata afterward from 7:15 - 8pm.
If Thursdays don’t fit your schedule, we will also rehearse on Sunday mornings between
services (9:50ish to 10:50ish am). If you like to sing, if you have the gift of music, please give
prayerful consideration to joining us!
JANUARY COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS
On December 11, 1966, the first worship
service was held at this church at 13th and
Benjamin. The St. John’s Council approved a
celebration of this event at their January 20th
meeting. On Sunday, December 11, 2016 - exactly
50 years later - St. John’s will plan recognition of
this important event and look forward to everyone
being present to participate. Save the date!
The Council heard about the progress of our
sound system upgrade and the need for replacing
several wireless microphones. We hope to have the
project completed prior to Easter. We look forward
to this improvement to the worship experience.
The roster of candidates for the various
elections to be held during the Annual Meeting was
reviewed. Final reports from the Ministry
Committees will be included in the report packet as
well as the 2013 and 2014 Audit Reports. The
Council celebrated the many ways St. John’s
served the community and the greater church this
past year.
A complete copy of the minutes is available by
mail or email by contacting the church office.
PERSONAL CARE KITS
When LWR distributes Personal Care Kits, it’s often to people who have lost everything. In the wake of an earthquake, or having fled from violence as their homes were overtaken, they clasp a towel from a faraway place, with a bar of soap, a toothbrush…and washing up, they know that they have not been forsaken by the world.
The very simple gesture of giving a Personal Care Kit can give someone the nudge to start anew, starting with a bath. You can share God’s grace and love by providing that simple comfort.
What to Include:
One light-weight bath-size towel (between 20"×40" & 52"×27"), dark color recommended
Two or three bath-size bars of soap equaling up to 8-9 oz, any brand, in original wrapping
One adult-size toothbrush in its original packaging*
One sturdy comb, remove packaging
One metal nail clippers (attached file optional), remove packaging
Wrap all the items in the towel and tie securely with ribbons or yarn
NOTE: Toothbrush multi-packs may be used by sealing an individual toothbrush in a business-size envelope; no plastic bags or wrap
Do not add other items or leave out any of the items listed. All items should be new and in good condition. Do not enclose the Kit or any of its contents in plastic bags.
Please give new items only, except where otherwise noted
Please do not donate items with any religious symbols, messages or your congregation’s name.
Please do not donate any items decorated with a U.S. flag, patriotic or military symbols, or references to the armed forces, including camouflage.
