CHRISTIANS ARE BLESSED in worship as they set aside time and distance to honor God together, to hear His Word, and to pray for one another. They are blessed to know Christ, and have Him work among them in His sacraments. Be an expectant worshiper this month. Come, see Jesus in the fulness of His grace, and give Him thanks and praise.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL will be held at St. John May 27 and 28. We need helpers, supplies, and especially, prayers, for us to reach our community with the love and joy found in Jesus Christ. The race of faith begins and ends with Jesus, who endured to the cross, and gives us His crown of glory by faith. An organizational meeting will be May 6th at 6:30 p.m.
THE 75TH KANSAS DISTRICT CONVENTION will be held June 5-6, 2025, at the Tony’s Pizza Event Center (TPEC) in Salina. The theme of the 2025 Convention will be “Abiding in the Word” based on John 8:31-32.
Floor Committees met on April 5. Resolutions, and any other additional information, will be provided in “Today’s Business” which will be posted on the website on Thursday, May 22, 2025. In addition, an information letter from the District Office was mailed to all Convention delegates. (St. John Delegates are Pastor Grimm and Bruce Schultz.) The Convention offering is being designated to “Supporting Theological Education.” There are 15 Lutheran Schools (Elementary and High School) in the Kansas District, and St. John Lutheran School of Alma is one of them. The Kansas District is also celebrating its 28th year of partnership with the West Africa mission in 2025. The Board of Directors has set a goal of raising $24,000 for the Convention Offering or $1500 per the 16 receiving entities to go towards the support of “Theological Education Books for our Kansas District Lutheran Schools” and “Theological Education – Books, Materials, Visiting Professors” in West Africa. https://kslcms.org/presidents-office/2025-convention/
