Join us Sunday (Feb. 26) for our Transfiguration Sunday Drama! For almost 20 years Pastor Newhart has been performing what he calls “Portrayals”. They are first person enacted portrayals of a variety of biblical, as well as historical, characters. He performs these characters in costume and make up to give an authentic appearance. Pastor Newhart will generously be sharing one of his “Portrayals” at both the 8 and 10:30 a.m. services. He will be portraying Peter. Looking forward to hearing your feedback as we look to incorporate portrayals in our Sunday worship schedule.

Remember to bring your food or monetary donations to church on September 25. Please come help decorate the church on September 24 in preparation for Harvest Home. Also, we are looking for two or three volunteers to take the food we receive the local food pantry on Monday or Tuesday following the service. Thanks.

Don’t forget: Deadline to Contribute to Monetary Gift for Pastor Ken is THIS Friday (Sept. 23).

Congregation Council will be hosting a farewell luncheon and reception for Pastor Ken and his family that will be held in the Parish Hall on Sunday, October 2, directly following the 10:30am service. Please mark your calendars now. We hope that you will be able to join us. Help express our gratitude to Pastor Ken!

During that gathering, Congregation Council would like to present Pastor Ken with a monetary gift from the Congregation. If you would like to donate toward this monetary gift, please mail or drop off your check, made payable to St. John’s, to Cyndi Nuver in the Church office, no later than 3:00pm on Friday, September 23rd.
