Joint Worship Service on Sept. 29, 2024
Next Sunday we will worship with our parish partner, Pomaria Lutheran Church at 203 Folk St., Pomaria, SC, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The service will be followed by food and fellowship in their Fellowship Hall.

Confirmation and Sunday School
Our confirmation and Sunday School classes will meet again on Sunday, October 6 from
4 pm to 5 pm. The classes will meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month this fall and 1st and 4th Sundays in the spring.
The confirmation class is open to children in grades 6-8. The Sunday School class for elementary school students uses LEGO® bricks to help teach the children the basic Bible stories. Jan Samson is teaching this class with Steve Kesler assisting.

“God’s Work. Our Hands” Day of Service
St. John’s and Pomaria Lutheran Churches are assembling blankets for the Linus Project and “Cleaning Buckets” for Lutheran Disaster Response. St. John’s has completed six blankets. Completed items will be blessed at our joint worship service next Sunday at
Pomaria Lutheran Church.

Card Shower for Martha Richardson
Martha Richardson has been diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer. She hopes to start chemotherapy next week. To show our love, St. John’s is hosting a card shower for her. Please send all cards to Martha Richardson at
110 Lowman Home Barn Rd., White Rock, SC 29177.

Property Facilitator(s)
St. John’s is blessed to have beautiful facilities, and we need one or two facilitator(s) to help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all. This ministry will focus on recruiting to get small tasks done and reaching out to vendors for quotes for more complex tasks. Please let Pastor Michele or a council member know if you feel called to serve.
