Worship

St. John’s offers both in person and streaming worship. See our Online Activities page. 

What are the services like?

The 10:30 am Sunday service throughout the school year, is held in the sanctuary and includes children’s messages, as well as outstanding organ and choir music. 

During the summer months, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, we hold a single service at 9:30 am in our air conditioned sanctuary. Typically, on the last Sunday of June, July and August, weather permitting, we hold worship outdoors in what we call “Mass on the Grass.” Later in the summer, we hold a “Blessing of the Animals” service and just before Back to School, a “Blessing of the Backpacks.”

You can expect to sing songs of the faith, pray, hear a message from the pastor, share the peace of God with others, and receive Holy Communion if you wish. At worship, you can participate as you wish – we offer printed bulletins to make it easy to follow along even if you are new to Lutheran faith traditions. It is our hope that when we experience God’s grace in Word and Sacrament, all who gather will be blessed by God’s love in Jesus.

Offertory

At this time we ask you to give whatever you can. St John Lutheran’s missions reach out in many ways to our community, and we can’t do it without your ongoing support.

Deuteronomy 16:16b, 17 – “They shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed. Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God that He has given you.”
