February 12 Weekly News


THE HIGH SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS will begin a 6-week session today, using material from Financial Peace University’s high school curriculum. This study will include a mix of video lessons with activities and other curriculum content designed to teach sound financial habits.  All high school students are invited to come.  Questions???  See Jean Jack. 

 

PASTOR WHITMORE would like to begin an adult instruction class soon for those who would like to learn more about our Lutheran doctrine and become communicant members of our congregation.  Those interested are asked to contact Pastor at 712-303-1256 or pastorwhitmore@whitecreek.org as soon as possible so dates/times can be coordinated.

 

HAVE YOU EVER wanted to speak to someone about their church attendance, but couldn’t find the words to say?  Have you ever been concerned about those who are not coming to the Lord’s house and wanted to do something about it?  As we continue to walk together in a common faith, St. John’s Evangelism Committee is looking for those in the congregation who would like to help in our effort to reach those in our congregation who have become inactive in their worship life for one reason or another.  We will be offering a training course to aid in conversing with our brothers and sisters who are not regularly meeting with us for divine worship.  The training will take place the last week of March at a time that is to be decided.  May God bless you as you consider this opportunity for strengthening our life together in Christ. 

 

OUR YOUTH GROUPS will be providing Valentines Date Night babysitting for children through 5th grade this evening from 5:00-8:00 p.m. in our school gym.  Bring your children and enjoy a night out!  A free-will donation will be accepted.  Hot dogs and snacks will be provided.

WIDOW’S WALK:  No one understands a widow’s loss like other widows and our Lord Jesus.  Widow’s Walk meets on the first Monday of the month at a local restaurant at 1:00 p.m. for lunch, a devotion, and the support they can give each other.  Persons may RSVP to 812-378-2075.
