We live in an unprecedented technical age. How can modern technology help or hinder our discipleship? Words matter, and feelings matter. How are you using social media? Are you lifting others up or expressing your emotions at the expense of others? Come and hear how you can be a Digital Disciple of Christ at St. John Lutheran Church: Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:00 am.

God accomplishes this mission in us and through us in weekly worship, Bible Study and other fellowship opportunities. God comes to us in the Word and the Sacraments to show us the love and new life he has for us in Jesus Christ. He gives us the opportunity to serve others and reach out with his love.

Education Hour —Looking to kick off the New Year with a spiritual boost? Join one of our Bible Studies during education hour! With options for all ages, we invite you to join at any time. We will resume on Sunday, January 12, meeting in the parish hall following worship.

St. John Lutheran Church Congregation Members, As most of you know, the congregation voted to explore the possibility of a long-term partnership with Our Savior Lutheran Church in Norfolk. We are excited to inform you that the St. John committee and the Our Savior committee met last week to discuss the logistics of what that might look like. Both of these committees will meet again next week to continue the discussion. The meeting will focus on discussing potential collaboration opportunities, as well as how both churches might benefit from this partnership. Further updates will be shared as we have them. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated for this group as they discern God's will for our congregation in this matter.
