THANK YOU to those who donated blood at the March 28th Versiti blood drive. Your kindness and commitment helped them to replenish their blood supply especially of type O blood, the preferred transfusion type in emergencies. Our blood drive saved lives!!! | |
“Thank you to everyone who attended the Prayer Vigil this past Tuesday. We lifted up many prayers to our Lord during this time and we encourage everyone to pray without ceasing. Thank you also to those who submitted prayer requests, we continue to pray over them.” | |

A heartfelt “Thank You”
to all of the awesome volunteers who helped setup, serve, bake, donate, and cleanup for our Annual Easter Breakfast. It was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without you.
God bless you all!

ATTENTION ALL ST. JOHN’S MEMBERS:
Housing Needed!!
On Sunday, April 21, we will be hosting a St. John Gospel Light Chorus from Plymouth, Wisconsin to sing in both our 8am and 10:45 am services. The groups of about 18 6 - 8 grade students will need housing for Saturday evening, April 20. Specifically, They are requesting 8 hosts to accommodate 2 students (all girls, with one set being 2 boys), and one female chaperone per group. They plan to arrive at St. John’s, at 7 - 7:30 pm to meet their host. The director is requesting them to be back at church by 7:30 AM on Sunday morning to prepare for the 8 am service. No meal preparation will be involved for the hosts.
If you can help out by hosting one of these groups, your service would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact Chris Kirchenberg: ckirchenberg73@gmail.com or
Judy Hirt: jgh_@sbcglobal.net if you could be available to help out.
Thank you!

Stewardship Thought :
"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
~Ephesians 4:11-13

Do you enjoy fresh flowers? Each week the altar is beautified with fresh flowers given by individuals of St. John’s congregation. Flowers may be given in memory or in honor of someone or some occasion, in thanksgiving of something or to the Glory of God. The flowers may be taken home after the Sunday
services for you to enjoy at home or perhaps share with a loved one or someone you wish to share an invitation to worship at St. John’s. The Flower Chart for 2024 is posted in the narthex on the left brick pillar as you walk into the sanctuary. Flowers are $55 for two arrangements. If you wish to sign up for a particular Sunday and someone else has already signed up, we invite you to sign up in addition to another person giving flowers – you can split the $55 cost with the person signed up or purchase an additional two arrangements for $55. Multiple floral arrangements to beautify the altar are always welcome! A member of the Altar Guild will contact you in advance for your dedication.
