Everyone is invited to our 3rd annual church picnic to be
held on Sunday, August 5, after worship.
Bring your most comfortable lawn chair and come out and enjoy lunch and
fun activities with your church family!
We would again like to display quilts, antiques, collectibles, St.
John's memorabilia, hobbies, tractors, trucks, cars, etc., so gather your things
together and bring them out that day!
Any canopies to use for shade would be appreciated! A hot dog lunch will be served, along with
popsicles and pie and ice cream during the afternoon. Pie donations are needed - please contact
Becky if you would be willing to bake a pie (no contest this year - just to be
enjoyed!) Also, lots of fun
activities! Watch the weekly bulletin
for more details...
BIBLE STUDY:
Do you know why in the Lutheran Church we have two Sacraments, not seven
as in the Roman Catholic Church or none, as in some Protestant Churches? We shall discuss that as Pastor Brandt starts
another Bible Study on Thursday, August 16, in the Fellowship Room, if God be
willing. Call Becky in the church office
(342-3516) to enroll.

LWML MISSION MOMENTS:
154 delegates awarded $120,000 in mission grants at the LWML convention
in June. Worship for Shut-ins received $12,000. The mission of “Worship for
Shut-ins” is Sharing Christ’s Love
through Ministry and Media. Worship for Shut-ins ministers not only to homebound and infirmed but also to those who
may not know Jesus as their Savior. Many
of its viewers are on limited incomes; therefore, it takes outside sources to
support this ministry costing $1,760 weekly on ten (10) Indiana television
stations and DIRECTV throughout Indiana. The $12,000grant will enable the
ministry to continue reaching out to homebound, un-churched, infirmed and
incarcerated through the TV ministry of “Worship for Shut-ins”. “Worship for Shut-ins” may be viewed
locally every Sunday morning on channel 40 at 10:00 a.m. or on Directv.
