Our congregation’s calendar is dotted with several special events, several of them related to celebrating the ministry of St. John’s Lutheran School.
We will kick off National Lutheran Schools Week with a SPECIAL SERVICE on Sunday, January 21, at 10 am. The morning will be filled with activities, the highlight of which is a service held in our school’s gymnasium featuring many of our school’s children singing and assisting with worship that day.
Our theme this year is “Connected” and built on Jesus’ teaching in John 15. We, God’s people, are connected to the “vine,” that is, Jesus the Christ and through Jesus to God and one another. The image of God’s people as a vineyard is as ancient as the prophets and is a reminder that we, like a grape vine, cannot live outside of our connection to Christ.
