In response to an overwhelming desire by many to create and build
community at St. John’s, we are launching “First Friday Meals” on
June 1. These pot-luck style gatherings would give us the
opportunity to break bread together outside of church, build
lasting relationships and deepen our connection to our church
family.
As bands and orchestras across the country practice the endless
strains of “Pomp and Circumstances,” young people wait for
envelopes — skinny and fat — to arrive. It is
graduation season!
For more than three decades, St. John’s Lutheran Church has
helped young people headed off to college — as well as those
already enrolled. We believe that the education of young
people is tremendously important, and we strive to acknowledge
the work of the young adults in our community.
Yes. We welcome children in worship, but we also provide
childcare for children ages 6 weeks to 4 years. Visit our
Childcare page for more information.
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.
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.
