Congregational Survey
On Sunday, February 6 and 13, worshippers will have an opportunity to express their opinions concerning St. John's current COVID-19 worship policies and the number of worship services St. John's offers on Sundays. Below are clarifying questions concerning the policies and services. These can be printed and filled out and either brought to worship on Sunday February 6 and 13, or mailed in to St. John's. Copies will also be made available to fill out before and after the services. Congregational leaders will be available after each service to gather these questions, to listen and clarify any issues.
|
|
This is a chance for your voice to be heard as St. John's leadership seeks to make the best decisions for the benefit of all who are worshiping, or will worship, at St. John's.
If you have any questions/concerns about this process please contact Pastor Ben, Pastor Mark, Congregational President Andy Kunz, or Head Elder Cary Preston by clicking on the links below:

New Study Series Starts Sunday! |
|
The excitement is building as we count down the days to our launch of the Bible study, Incarnate Community. This study was produced by our own Northern Illinois District and congregations throughout the district are participating in this study at the same time as we are! In week one of the study, we’re going look at how God designed us from creation to be in community. We’ll also see how sin tears community apart and what our Lord promises to do to restore community through Jesus. Mark your calendars, invite a friend, and be sure to join us for the launch of Incarnate Community! |

Mary and Joseph had just celebrated the great festival of the Passover - all Jewish families traveled to Jerusalem each year for this important event. Now it was time for the long journey home, but Jesus was nowhere to be found! Where could he be? Mary and Joseph searched everywhere, and they were frantic when he was still missing after several days. Finally they found Jesus in the temple, sitting with the great teachers there and asking them many questions. Everyone was amazed at the wisdom of this young boy - they realized that he was a very special child, but they didn't know that Jesus would grow up to be the greatest teacher of all! Come to Sunday School and learn more about Jesus' temple visit.

Lesson materials will also be sent to all Sunday School and Wednesday Bible School families. If you do not receive your package, contact Dalyne Shinneman at dalyne.shinneman@gmail.com or call 630.772.1688. |

Our 2022 Lenten Devotional is coming soon! For the last 35+ years, the members of St. John’s have written wonderful, thoughtful devotions that enrich our daily lives throughout Lent. Our theme this year is, “Tell Everyone What He Has Done”. In these devotions, we will focus on the “wonderful deeds” God does throughout the pages of Scripture, and how they point to all the “wonderful deeds” that God does for us and all people in Jesus. These devotions are a great opportunity to “thank the Lord and sing His praise”...indeed, to “tell everyone what He has done”! If you have questions regarding the devotional booklet you may address them to nancy.mayor@gmail.com.
For those of you who signed up to write this year, All devotions are due by Sunday, February 6. Thank you so much for helping us to make this year's Lenten Devotional possible!
