reading for this worship. The Guild will

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.

worship this Wednesday evening in the Fellowship Room.

MEN’S GATHERING: This retreat on March 31-April

generations after us to rise above our culture. Fishing and archery tag, a hog roast and
deep-fry party, and the opportunity to fellowship with other Christian men
while watching the Final Four are among the activities offered. For more info or to register, contact Dave
Vandercar at 812-498-4742 or dvandercar@ gmail.com. Brochures are available in
the narthex.
