WELCOME!
There is a place for you here. All who are baptized and seek Christ are welcome to share in Communion.
Children in Worship. We encourage children to learn to praise God at an early age. We welcome commotion, crying, and fussing because they are unavoidable parts of the learning process, and because these remind us that Jesus was born an infant and grew as we do.
To help families at times when children do need a break, we welcome you to use our nursery. The Nursery is not staffed, but is available for children to use with their adult as needed. Please clean up after yourself. Sunday services are live-streamed to the nursery, which is located across from the restrooms in the Parish Life Center.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please ask an usher.

DISCIPLESHIP HOUR
9:45-10:30 AM
At St. John's we encourage all to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus. One of the many ways disciples as young as 3 years old through adults can do this is on Sundays during our Discipleship Hour.
(CLASSES START BACK UP SEPTEMBER 20)
DOWNSTAIRS IN CLASSROOMS
All children in age 3 through 4th grade are welcome to join us for Sunday School! We start together downstairs in Classrooms for an opening and then the children will rotate through rotations to interactively learn about the day’s Bible story! Contact Sarah with any questions!
DOWNSTAIRS IN CLASSROOMS
All 5th & 6th grade students and their friends are invited and encouraged to attend Youtherans LITE. We will meet Sundays downstairs in Classrooms. During our time together we will be sharing, encouraging, playing games, eating snacks, and enjoying a Bible study together.
MEETING ROOM
Humans thrive on stories. We use stories to understand the world around us. We think in stories; stories shape our character. Our stories, and the communal stories we are part of, influence every decision we make, every action we take. The story of Jesus creates in us a unique way of being in the world. In this five week series, we will reflect on God's story, the story of St. John's, and our own stories to find out how they are woven together to create who we are.
