St. John’s has welcomed new members into our fold. John and Jill Benoit have transferred to us from St. John’s in Grover, WI. Also, Jenette Chiamulera and her girls Lexi and Lyric Jones have had their long-time transfer officially approved. Yet, Jenette has a new last name now, as she is newly married to Ryan Gunville as of February 14th. Congratulations to her and a welcome to all our new members!
The new red paraments are here and they are looking good! The cost of the paraments was covered by a donation in memory of Bill Parker and proceeds from the fall pasty sale. Red is the liturgical color for the day of Pentecost, Reformation and church festivals, so we’ll get to see them in action come June.
The Women of St. John’s are offering another pasty sale! Sign-up sheets are in the back, same process as before. Pasties will be available for pick-up on Saturday, March 1st between 2-4pm. Proceeds from this sale will go towards the angel paintings at the front of the church.

On February 12, 2014, St. John’s will be throwing our annual Jesus Loves Me Valentine’s party for all children, age 3-11. We’ll be having songs, games, crafts and treats. The party starts at 3:30pm right after school; kids can even take the bus straight here from school, and we’ll run until about 5pm. Please join us for an afternoon of fun!
The Women of St. John’s met on October 1st at 4:30 with 12 members present. After a devotion by Pastor Zeratsky the meeting was opened by Jan Jonet. We then met with Rick Lund, the Council President to discuss the responsibilities of the the Women,s Group and how we could state this clearer in our Constitution and By-Laws. This will be worked on at the same time as the Protocol Manual is worked on. We also discussed how “nice” the church looks and that the 125th Anniversary weekend went perfectly!
In new business, we will be organizing a pasty sale and saving Super One and Econo Foods grocery receipts in order to purchase red paraments for the church. The pasty sale will be October 26 -27. It was voted and approved to send $100 to the Martin Lutheran College – Early Childhood Learning Center which will soon be opening.
The Women of the Church Christmas party is tentatively set for December 8th at Maxsells 1-3:00. Save the date!
The next meeting will take place on November 5th. Snacks will be provided by Shelly Lund. Any concerns or ideas please talk to Jan Jonet or just bring them to the meeting. Everyone is welcome!
