Ideas Requested to Further Enhance the Sanctuary
Ideas Requested to Further Enhance the Sanctuary
It has been 25 years since the sanctuary at St. John Lutheran Church opened. When first built, the sanctuary served multi-purposes, but with the addition of the Fellowship Building, it is used primarily for worship services. Although changes have been made over the years, additional enhancements could include items such as church banners and window treatments.
We would like to form a group of members to think about ways to further enhance the sanctuary. If interested, please contact Greg Stevenson.
Special Announcements – Quarterly Voters' Meeting Schedule Change
Special Announcements
Quarterly Voters' Meeting Schedule Change
The Church Council has voted to change the schedule for the quarterly voters' meetings. This new change will allow Sunday School to be held and will avoid Pastor Nathan needing to rush to the second service.
This change will be effective beginning with the June 29, 2025, voters' meeting. With this change, the schedule will align with the services held on the fifth Sunday of a month.
Sunday School will begin at 9 a.m. with the church service beginning at 10 a.m. The voters' meeting will follow the church service and will include a potluck meal.
