Spiritual Growth
PENTECOST IS MAY 19. We see the beginning of the Church, as the Holy Spirit calls people to faith in Jesus Christ. The church continues to grow and serve God by the Holy Spirit’s power. This is the third great festival of the church year, as Christmas celebrates the Father’s gift to the world; Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ and all who trust Him; and Pentecost, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
ASCENSION DAY will be celebrated in chapel on May 9, as we move our chapel day from Wednesday to Thursday in the second week of May. Jesus is crowned with glory, and now rules His church with mercy and grace.
FAITH AT WORK is a Lutheran service event where groups find and meet community needs in the name of Jesus. The LCMS Kansas District invites our congregations, and schools to reserve April 2024, for Faith at Work! St. John Lutheran School cleaned the Alma City park. You may check it out at: https://kslcms.org/caring-ministry/faith-at-work/
VBS: PRAYERS AND WORKERS ARE NEEDED! VBS will be May 20 and 21 from 9:00am till 3:00pm. We need helpers as well as items for use at VBS. Please check the posters at the back of church to see how you can contribute to our outreach.
ADULT CLASS: We have interest in beginning a membership class to begin or enhance membership at St. John Lutheran Church. Would Sunday evening work? If you know of someone who would like to know more about St. John, please tell them and pass their name on to Pastor Grimm at the church office.
SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS is taking up a study of Lutheran Worship: its forms and practices. Learn how the Bible informs our worship, and how the Savior is the focus of our time together in church.
ARE YOU FINISHED? If God still has work for you to do, join a Bible Class that will help you to enhance and nurture the gifts you have to share with God’s people.
