WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we have set aside this time to gain strength and conviction, to know gladness and forgiveness. Father, we have set aside this time to be drawn closer to You. Enable us to bring forth the fruits of righteousness in our lives, that You might be glorified, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
BIBLE STUDY SURVEY: Please return the Bible study survey that was inserted in last Sunday’s bulletin by next Sunday, May 8. Drop boxes are in the narthex, as well as extra copies if needed (beside the boxes). The goal of this survey is to improve Bible study times and topics to better serve our congregation. Your feedback is much appreciated!
YOUTH GROUPS will meet this evening at 7 p.m.
PASTOR KEINATH will be out of town all this week. Please contact Pastor Jung for any pastoral care needed.
BUILDING FUND: St. John’s congregation made a 5 year financial commitment to expand our school and carry a loan. We will be striving to complete our commitment by the end of 2017. During this time of vacancy, we have the opportunity to utilize our offerings and gifts towards reducing our financial debt at a more rapid pace. This could ease our financial challenge when a Call is extended to a Pastor. This is a unique opportunity for those who have lapsed in their pledges to become current and for others to make contributions who have not done so. As St. Paul says in Ephesians 4:16, “From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”
