VBS

VBS was held this year from July 21st through July 25th. It was a joy for the staff to share God’s Word with 24 children and 3 junior helpers. Our theme this year was “Noah’s Ark” using Bible stories teaching – God is Just, God is Good, God is Our Guide, God Cares, and God Keeps His Promises. Just as Noah built the ark with God’s directions, God directs up to share His Word with others. And a big thank you to all who participated and volunteered their time for this.

Summer Service Option

Starting Wednesday, June 4th St. John’s will be trying out a mid-week summer service option.  The format of the service will be more devotional in nature, but will mirror the previous Sunday in content, readings, sermon, etc.  The service will run through Labor Day, so feel free to check it out if you were unable to join us on the previous Sunday!

 

Women’s Outing

The Women of St. John’s voted to go on a summer outing as we have in the past.  The destination that was voted on was “Princeton Gardens” just west of Felch, MI.  It is a lovely development of ponds, rock gardens, flower beds, gazebos, and outdoor dining areas. Thursday, July 17th, 2014 has been selected as the date for the luncheon/outing. The ladies from the Tri-Parish and Mt. Olive  will be invited to join us.  The cost of the luncheon is $12.00 and will include coffee/tea, dessert, and tax.  Tip will be at your discretion.  A sign up sheet will be placed at the back of church and needs to be filled out by June 8th.  Please be prepared to pay the $12.00 at the June meeting or get the money to Jan Gehlhoff, Treasurer by July 1st. We will be celebrating God’s beauty in nature with hymns of praise in this outdoor setting.  All women of St. John’s are welcome!
