WORSHIP WITH US
While we serve many needs, our primary purpose as a congregation is to gather for worship, gathering each Sunday to celebrate the promise of new life in Jesus. We gather at St. John for worship each Sunday at 10:00am. Holy Communion is usually celebrated on the first and third Sundays of the month.
Parking is available north, south and west of the building. We ask that parking on the south side of the building be left open for our seniors and those with special mobility needs.
Children are welcome in worship. To help direct their energy, we have children's messages most Sundays, activity bags, and children's corners in the back of our sanctuary and our fellowship hall. Learn about our Sunday school and faith formation here.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN WORSHIP
|
St. John follows a liturgical church year, starting with Advent and progressing through Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. Our Sunday morning worship services typically follow a Lutheran flow of worship (August 9 bulletin), projected onto a screen, with the option for worshipers to use hymnals as well.
This summer (2026), we are introducing Emerging Worship, a monthly evening service in the church fellowship hall, with contemporary worship songs via lyric videos, less liturgy, Holy Communion, and the sermon from morning worship preached again. This is a great option for those elsewhere Sunday mornings, or who find our regular worship too formal. Services are being offered at 7pm June 28, July 26, and August 23. Invite a friend! Confirmation students are required to complete worship notes for our pastors. Unable to attend worship in person? Most of our Sunday morning services at St. John are livestreamed on Facebook and later uploaded to YouTube. |

LIFE EVENTS
Important events occur throughout our lives, and St. John has the privelege of being part of some of these. If you are interested in any of these events with St. John, please contact the church to speak with a pastor.
Holy Baptism
God, who is rich in mercy and love, gives us a new birth into a living hope through the sacrament of baptism. By water and the Word, God delivers us from sin and death and raises us to new life in Jesus Christ. We are united with all the baptized in the one body of Christ, anointed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and joined in God’s mission for the life of the world.
Marriage
At the heart of the rite of marriage is the promise of love and faithfulness by which two people bind themselves to one another in a lifelong commitment. The church celebrates and accompanies the couple through this life passage by witnessing their promises, proclaiming the word of God in connection with this transition, and praying for God’s blessing on the couple and their household.
Funerals
At a person’s death, the church shares the grief of those who mourn and remembers the brevity of life on earth. At the funeral we give voice to sorrow, thank God for our loved one, and entrust this companion of ours into the hands of God. Trusting God’s promise in baptism that we are claimed by Christ forever, we rest in the sure hope of the resurrection. When the church gathers to mark the end of life, Christ crucified and risen is the witness of worship, the strength of mutual consolation, and the hope of healing.
