A Message from the Principal
Unprecedented times. Who else is tired of hearing that phrase? I’m tired of hearing it, and I’m tired of saying it! I’m just not sure there’s another way to describe what is happening in our world today. Through all of this uncertainty, day in and day out, I am so grateful that I have Jesus in my life. I know that He goes before me into every day and that He is in control. I am so happy to be part of the St. John’s community where we are surrounded by others who share that belief and who are there to encourage each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. As we are just two short weeks away from our first day of school, I invite you to find comfort in these words from Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Greetings, everyone! This is Pastor Ben Roberts at St. John’s Lutheran in La Grange. I pray that all of you are staying healthy and focused on Jesus!
 
We are in the final planning stages of the 2020-2021 Confirmation ministry at St. John’s Lutheran Church…but we need your input! Confirmation is a one-year educational and discipling experience for those entering 7th or 8th grade. If you have a 7th or 8th grader and would like them to go through our Confirmation experience this year, please contact me by August 10th, 2020. Also, please indicate what you prefer: online only, hybrid (online with some in person with safety protocols) or in-person (with safety protocols in place). Thank you!
Lanyards for Masks
St. John's teachers highly recommend every student use a lanyard to keep masks from falling on the floor, getting lost, etc. This video on Facebook shows a great example of using a lanyard with a mask:
