THE TRINITY SEASON is the time of summer and fall in the church year that encourages God’s at work in us. We look ahead to God changing us now as He sanctifies us, for this is God’s work in us. We also anticipate His work to complete the great transformation when He takes His people to heaven.

FROM THE ARCHIVES:
PREACHING ON THE
PRAIRIE was an awesome anniversary event for the Lutherans in Wabaunsee County. 258 and 812 attended the services June 11 and 12, 2011. The site of Zion Lutheran Church, Templin, was the site of the big tent where we commemorated 150 years of our Lutheran heritage and the first Lutheran sermons preached in Kansas. After expenses, there were enough offerings to divide between the Lutheran Hour, Lutheran Heritage Foundation, and Orphan Grain Train.
WORSHIP CONFERENCE: Registration is OPEN for at St. John’s Topeka, on Saturday, August 13, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The keynote speaker is Rev. Sean Daenzer, the Director of Worship and Chaplain at the International Center of The LCMS in St. Louis, Missouri. Registration is $20.
THE TRUTH PROJECT is held Sunday evenings through the summer. This video study reveals the presuppositions of our culture that are opposed to Christianity, and how we may stand clearly on God’s side by the way we live our lives.
EMAIL: If the church does not have your email address, whereby we may contact you, then please email the church, with “address” in the subject line to: stjohnalma@gmail.com.
WORSHIP DVDS are in the church office. People may borrow them to share with those who have not been able to be with us in church.
