CONGREGATIONAL HISTORY: In late fall of 1840, St. John's was formally
organized. Eighty acres of land to be
used for church purposes was purchased.
This land was located near the county line on the present road leading
to Seymour. Since this property was not
centrally located, it was sold.
ANNIVERSARY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS are still available
for sale. Contact Becky in the church
office. Cost is $12 each.
THIS WEEK is being observed as National Lutheran
Schools Week. Our students have written
thank-you notes to the congregation today in thanksgiving and appreciation for
the blessings of being able to attend our Lutheran school. Please continue to keep our students,
faculty, and staff in your prayers.

to sit in on classes during the course of the day. Teachers will be available to answer
questions in between instruction times. Persons
planning on being at school for lunch, are asked to please contact the school a
few days in advance to make a reservation.
CAMP LAKEVIEW: It's
time to start thinking about summer camp!
On February 2, Lakeview ministries will begin registering campers (K-12)
