Spiritual Growth

WORSHIP the Savior with purity of heart, and satisfaction of the soul. God sent Jesus to rescue us from sin, death, and the devil to bring us His righteousness. Grow in goodness and grace (2 Peter 3:8) and be deliberate about spiritual things this summer. Use time to honor God’s name in work, play, and home life.

THEOLOGY ON TAP: the third Tuesday of the month is a time to learn some new things about the Bible or our church, with friends from around our circuit. Rockin’ K’s has a place to meet and discuss theology, and if you would like a meal, they are also able to serve delicious food before the presentation begins.

BLUE JEANS RESCUE: We would like to invite you to join us in collecting jeans for the Salina Rescue Mission beginning August 4 and ending Sunday, August 25. We hope this email gives you a chance to present the idea to the council June/July and on the church calendar. Ken Culbertson and St. Luke’s Manhattan. Check it out: https://salinarescuemission.com/

HOME VISITS BY PASTOR AND ELDERS
We are encouraging personal growth at St. John by visiting several families per month. You may preview these questions, and consider God’s work in Christ, and how it applies to you as His child.
[While these may be limited this year, it is a desire of Pastor Grimm to continue outreach in spite of health limitations.]
The Bible is our guide 
because it shows us God’s love in Christ.
Christian Worship is our response 
 because it shows our love for God.
Living faithfully is our calling
because it shows the world God’s truth.
Questions:
When did you see God at work in your life during  
  the past year?
Where do you seek for God to grow faith in your life 
  this coming year?
How do your offerings to God bring you joy? Or: 
  How are offerings a challenge for you?
Why is St. John Lutheran Church and School 
  important for you?
What questions do you have about the church or its 
  goals?
Who may we pray for while we are with you?
