Spiritual Growth
TRUTH FROM GOD FOR GODLY LIVING. We see God at work in His people as we hear his words this summer. May we blossom and flourish with God’s grace, so that the fruits we bear bless those He loves!
PRAISE MAKERS: Fifty-seven children joined us at Vacation Bible School. We had Twenty-two Jr and Sr. High School students offering praise beside these children, as they followed the pathways of God’s grace. Nineteen adults guided and taught the love of Jesus this year, using the Bible accounts of Jericho and Paul and Silas in prison.
Children are invited to sing in worship Sunday, June 1st, and wear their VBS T-shirts.
Vacation Bible School is an outreach of St. John Lutheran Church, so that parents can help their children understand Jesus, and learn to trust Him. He is our Savior, and our message is for us to share the Gospel through Word and Sacraments to inspire Christ-centered living
JENNIE WILLIAMSON performed the “God Is Great” concert here at St. John on Wednesday, May 27. After a meal, about 60 people celebrated the joys of being a Lutheran Christian. Her message of love and hope touched the hearts of attendees.
SUNDAY ADULT BIBLE CLASS is beginning to read the book of Acts. Jim MacGregor is leading this study, as we learn how the early Christians dealt with difficulties in carrying the Gospel from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria, to the ends of the earth. Join us, as we seek understanding for how we carry the Gospel to the world in our community.
MISSIONARY Michael Hageman and his wife Shanna need our prayers as they go to a place hostile to Christianity in Tanzania, Africa. He will train pastors at the seminary there to reach out with the Gospel. You may provide financial support for Missionary Hageman through Together in Mission.
GIFTS OF LOVE: LEAVING A LEGACY Do you have a plan to distribute God's gifts when you live? Or when you die? We shall conduct a Gifts of Love workshop on October 4. Carol Von Soostern from the LWML (with the LWML Foundation) will explain opportunities and provide guidance on how to share the gifts God has given to you.
BOOK STUDY: “Hopeful, Faithful, and Bold” is the book for study which concludes this month. It is written by Rev. Lee Hagan, president of the Missouri District. They will meet June 11th and 25th.
