As we look forward to the Easter season, and warmer weather, this spring is a great time to join one of the Bible study opportunities going on at St. John’s! Each of these are open to new attendees. Those with busy schedules are encouraged to attend when they’re able – irregular attendance is welcomed. Please contact the church office to get connected with the study leaders.
WOW: ‘Being Lutheran’
Join us after Easter, April 23rd – June 25th, to read and discuss a book titled ‘Being Lutheran’ by Trevor Sutton. This will be a great time to learn more about what Lutherans believe and how we then live that out! Sign up to attend by filling out the form at the end of this article! (Books can be ordered at this link or the office can get a copy for you.)
This group meets in the chapel on Wednesdays at 6pm.
Women daytime: Joshua
On Tuesdays Deaconess Michele is leading a Bible study through the book of Joshua. This is a time of discussion, application, and a deep-dive into the text and history of this pivotal time of change for Israel. Join us as we uncover how God kept His promises to Israel, and continues to keep His promises to us.
This group meets in the chapel on Tuesdays at 10am.
Men: Facing Change
The men’s Bible study meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month, in the chapel at 8:30am. All men are invited to join each month, or just for one.
March 8th we will continue the study titled “Meeting Change”. We are discussing how we meet and navigate change as it occurs in our lives, and looking at the prophet Samuel and the tumultuous changes he endured. This conversation is based on the book “Unfailing: God’s Assurance for Times of Change” by Christopher M Kennedy. You can purchase a copy of the book online or from the church office.
The “Meeting Change” study will continue on April 12th, May 10th, and June 14th
Sunday morning: The Gospel of John
After “keeping vigil” throughout the season of Lent by studying stories at the heart of God’s plan of salvation: Creation, the Great Flood, the Testing of Abraham, the Exodus, and the Valley of the Dry Bones, the Sunday morning study will turn its attention to the Gospel of John. Each weekend in Easter the Gospel reading is drawn from John’s Gospel giving us a fabulous opportunity to study the “fourth Gospel.”
The study begins immediately after the Connect service and concludes by 11:45 am each Sunday.
Sign up here to join us and study 'Being Lutheran' this April-June!WOW spring 2025
