St. John’s Lutheran Church Open House/ Honoring Benilda

St. John’s Lutheran invites you to our open house celebration on

Sunday, January 24^th, 2016.

We are celebrating the recent improvements to our church and school scheduled for completion during the Christmas School break this December.  The celebration will begin with worship at 10:00 A.M. which will be followed with a light lunch (reception) downstairs in our fellowship hall where we will share old memories.  Benilda DeGuillen, a 15 years + teacher at our school will be honored for her service.  At the beginning of our worship we will dedicate the new ADA Ramps and the chapel mechanical lift.

With recent upgrades to our signs out front, new flooring in our basement, classrooms, hallways and stairwells plus new windows in our school and basement we have a facility we are truly proud of.  Our plan is to make St. John’s a favorite location for weddings, receptions, anniversaries, reunions and birthdays for our members, old members, school families and friends.  We would also like to invite our friends who are looking for a church home to come join us in worship and fellowship.

We invite you to attend our Advent and Christmas services during this holiday season.  Soup supper is at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday (16^th) followed by vibrant worship in the presence of God our Father.  Christmas Eve candlelight service is at 6:00 P.M. and Christmas Day service is at 10:00 A.M.!

Future upgrades on our schedule include:  New paint and carpets for our Chapel, solar panels for the Chapel roof (zeroing out our electric bill) and new counter tops, appliances and flooring for our kitchen.  A restoration of the floor on our stage downstairs could also be in the works.

We are proud of the growth of our schools (We recently added a second Pre-school at Redeemer Lutheran and we are planning a third at Christ Lutheran in Murray.  We have added a 2^nd Sudanese Worship group that meets on Sunday afternoons.  St. John’s Lutheran membership is a full partner in all of its endeavors as we give our support with our time, talents and treasures (Dollars).  We want to encourage you to join us with your attendance and support.
