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.
THE SEASONS are quickly
changing! This Wednesday, March 1 is Ash
Wednesday, marking the beginning of the penitential season of Lent. As such, we will be having a service with the
imposition of ashes that evening at 7:00 p.m. in place of our normal Wednesday
evening service. In addition, special
services will be held every Wednesday in Lent following the theme, Behold, Your King: Meditations on Select
Royal Psalms. We will be following
the Order
of
Compline, and there will be no communion during these midweek services (we will
be having communion every Sunday during March).
Supper will be held before the services on March 8, March 29, and April
5, beginning at 5:45 p.m. May God bless
the changing of the seasons and ever hold His cross before our eyes as we await
our King and the kingdom that He has promised us. To Him alone be glory forever. Amen.
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.
MARCH CALENDAR AND
NEWS will be available
