MANY THANKS TO those who gave a memorial to the school in
memory of Pastor Brandt. To date, a
total of $2512.00 has been received.
Members of St. John's will have this included on their year-end offering
statement.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO everyone who donated items for Phil's
Friends care packages. Enough items were
collected to fill 5 care packages (plus a little more!). These will be distributed to those afflicted
by cancer in our area (which saves cost of shipping and distributing from
Chicago). As we have witnessed in our
congregation, the love and support given in time of need can have a huge impact
in our lives and those in need.

Saturday, May 4, from 8:30 AM - noon at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church,

collected at the time of registration.
All ladies invited.

OUR PARISH NURSE,
Amberly Hoffman, would like to start a walking group here at St. John's
on Wednesday evenings (late afternoon/early evening before church). She also plans to calculate steps around the
church so persons can come and walk laps and figure out how many miles they
have walked. Contact Amberly at
amhoffman07@hotmail.com for questions or to let her know you are
interested. Watch for more details.....
