Where did Luther translate the New Testament into German? … What is the name of Luther’s most famous hymn?

If you are wondering about the answers to these questions….consider joining us next Sunday, October 29 as St. John’s commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in a very special way. Pastor Newhart will be sharing one of his “Portrayals” at both the 8:00 and 10:30 am services. In conjunction with this historic anniversary, he will be portraying Martin Luther.

In between the two services at approximately 9:15 am in the Parish Hall, there will be a special time of fellowship and refreshments as Pastor Newhart provides an interactive educational teaching on Martin Luther by continuing his portrayal of Martin Luther and answering questions from Sunday School students and congregation members and sharing some Martin Luther and Reformation trivia.

Our celebration promises to be a time of commemoration, fellowship, worship, education and fun! Come join us! Both children and families will receive a special gift to help commemorate this special day.

We are having only one Service at 9:15 am for Commitment Sunday. There will not be Sunday School that day, but we would love the children to be part of our day. We will start with a Church Service. Then we will proceed to the Parish Hall where we will have a play and then enjoy lunch together as “We Are All God’s Family.” Please bring a covered dish or dessert. The Stewardship Committee will supply the meat and drinks. We would love to see everyone attend.

The Prayer Bead Ministry group meets about four to five times a year to make Anglican prayer beads. The group has made prayer beads for shut-ins and veterans. It is their prayer that these prayer beads will bring comfort in times of trouble and help deepen your relationship with God in prayer.
