We are happy to announce that Miss Megan Marrano will be
joining our church staff as a part-time Youth Ministry Director.
St. John’s has always had a male and female directors position.
Until now Devon was just heading up the youth director position.
Megan will now join Devon Asmus in this role. Megan has been in
our congregation for a long time. You might know Megan through
her leadership with Vacation Bible School, the Christmas Pageant
or through her teachers position in Sunday Church School.

We look forward to Devon and Megan growing our children's
ministry while working closely with Pastor Valerie.

Our congregation celebrates our German roots continuing the German tradition of Koffee Klatsch every Sunday morning. A Koffee Klatsch is a social gathering for informal conversation at which coffee is served! We love it! We are looking for 2 teams to set up and clean up our Koffee Klatsch on the 2nd and 3rd Sundays of the month. What does it entail? Setting up the coffee, hot water, cups, coffee condiments and supplying any breakfast snacks. Juice or water is set out as well. This is done at 9 to ensure the coffee is ready by 9:45. The area is then cleaned up around 10:25. Tear down includes cleaning and putting everything away, wiping the tables and sweeping the parish hall floor. Currently our Choir members cover the 1st Sunday of the month and our Altar Guild covers the 4th Sunday of the month. If you’d like to volunteer, we have a calendar available in the Parish Hall. We’ll be sure to show you where all the supplies are located and that you are trained on how to use the coffee pots, etc. Thank you for volunteering!

A sign up sheet is in the Parish Hall. Any questions, please ask Kathy Moody

It's time to start collecting Books and Jigsaw Puzzles for the sale!

We will be collecting from April 1st through April 30th

Please, no magazines or encyclopedias
