Traditional Worship Service

at 8:00 & 10:45 AM

(In-Person and livestreamed)

NOTE: Change to Schedule

St. John's has returned to two Sunday worship services. Services will be held at 8AM and 10:45AM with Sunday School and Adult Education offerings in-between services each week starting at 9:25AM.

Can you imagine teaching your young child about Jesus Christ – without having any kind of Sunday school materials, or even a basic Bible storybook? This situation is a reality for many Lutheran churches around the world, but the Lutheran Heritage Foundation is helping to change that. This coming Sunday, Rev. Tom Fischer will preach at our worship service(s). Plan to join us during Bible class when Rev. Fischer shares the exciting mission work LHF is doing worldwide. To support this important mission effort, you may donate on Sunday or visit their website:  https://www.lhfmissions.org/ .

Please Note: St. John's is in need of assistance

With the return to two Sunday services additional volunteers are needed on Sunday morning. Help is also needed at the Saturday 505 service. We are searching for ushers, acolytes, readers, and audio-visual assistance. Please contact the church office, churchoffice@stjohnslagrange.org, or speak with Mari Smith on Sunday morning to see how you can help. Training will be provided.

Reminder: Please pick up your Church Offering Envelopes!

Your 2022-2023 Offering Envelopes

are waiting for you in the Church Narthex.

Calling all middle schoolers!

Join us  each Sunday morning downstairs in the Youth Room
