German Heritage Weekend
When: September 7th & 8th
On the weekend of September 7-8, as part of our 175th Anniversary celebration, we will be lifting up St. John’s German heritage by altering our traditional worship services to closely follow the order of Luther’s Mass. We’ll also be singing German hymns and hearing a little bit (nur ein kleines bisschen) of German spoken in our worship services that weekend.
Come and enjoy a special weekend of worship and praise! You’ll experience first-hand the small but very interesting differences between Luther’s original order of worship and the one we typically follow today.

We ask that Adult Sunday School classes join us at 9:30, then proceed to class at the conclusion of the meeting.
Since we only have Quarterly meetings four times a year we appreciate your flexibility with this newly scheduled time.
This allows us to have one meeting and to conduct any written votes that might be necessary during that time.
There will be a member of the Executive Team present after the 4:00 service on Saturday, October 12 for questions and comments.
Please plan to attend.
