CHURCH PICNIC:
Everyone is invited to our 3rd annual church picnic to be
held next Sunday, August 5, after worship.
Wear your play clothes, 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! Any canopies to use for shade would be
appreciated! Items may be brought
Saturday morning from 8:00-10:00 AM. A
hot dog/ham sandwich 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!
BIBLE STUDY:
Why is it so important to baptize babies? Can an un-baptized baby be saved? If you are able to come to Pastor Brandt's
Bible Study on Thursday, August 16, at 10:30 AM in the Fellowship Room, you may
be surprised to hear what some people are thinking. 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. Concordia Seminary Food Bank
and Clothing Co Op, Ft. Wayne received $12,000, and Concordia Seminary Food
Bank, St. Louis, MO received $10,000. The
food bank and the Food and Clothing Co-op exist to aid students who are studying to become pastors and
deaconesses with costs associated with feeding themselves and their families
while they are students.
The Food and Clothing Co-op currently supplies 75% to 85% of all
families’ food and household needs each month at no cost to the student,
relying upon donations from individuals, congregations and organizations. The
$12,000 grant will be used to purchase three months of perishable items for the
Co-op. The $10,000 will help finance
the operational costs of the Food Bank.
