Announcements for August 4

Today the altar flowers are given by the Carlson family to glorify God in our peaceful worship space, and to remember Arvid, who planted many flowers and cared for St. John’s.

May God bless students, parents, and teachers as they begin the new school year!

Dr. Russell Kleckley will continue leading a review of the ELCA social statement on Human Sexuality, adopted by the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly. The statement expresses ELCA teaching on human sexuality and is grounded in the biblical witness to the relationship God establishes with creation as a model for relationships between human beings. Please join us in the fellowship hall for this discussion. Breakfast is served prior to the discussion which begins at 10:00 A.M.

The rollaway cart for cans has been emptied, so there’s plenty of room for all your cans: aluminum, steel or tin! We will take them and recycle them for cash for St. John’s Youth. Please remove ALL paper labels from your items before recycling and dump cans from plastic bags.
