Join others from the St. John’s community in a fun weekend of
camping at Shirttail Creek Campground on the North Shore of Sugar
Pine Reservoir in the lovely Tahoe National Forest!
Shirttail Campground is located on the north
shore of Sugar Pine Reservoir, in the Tahoe National Forest, 15
miles from Foresthill. Visitors enjoy the area for its
fishing, canoeing and hiking opportunities.
On Sunday, June 2 a huge intergenerational choir of children with
their parents and grandparents brought their gifts to the 9 am
service. The following is a note of thanks from Jennifer
Johnson, Children’s Ministries Coordinator, and Candace Costa,
Director of Children’s Music.
Lutherans are already on the ground in the Midwest helping our
brothers and sisters in Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, and
Texas. As you pray this week, include the men and women of
Lutheran Disaster Response in your prayers.
Lutherans believe in the Triune God who is loving, forgiving, and
nurturing. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died
to free us from our sins. And we believe in the Holy Spirit who
is active in our lives bringing inspiration and transformation to
each of us. For more about what Lutherans believe, take a look at
the Statements
of Belief of the ELCA.
Yes. We believe that the gifts of God are free. We commune by
intinction most of the time. You will be handed bread and will
dip it into the cup. The red liquid is wine; the clear liquid is
grape juice. To read more about the Sacrament of Communion, visit
our Baptism & Holy Communion page.
Each service has its own feeling largely dictated by the music
choices for that service. However, all services follow the basic
Lutheran liturgy and include reading of the scriptures, time for
prayer and confession, praise and thanksgiving, and usually the
celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion. For more
information about our individual services, please visit our
Worship page.
Three separate searches for director/coordinator positions here
at St. John’s have been working behind the scenes to test and
ready us for the leadership God has in store for us next!
