Outdoor Sunday Worship – We will be gathering for worship outside in the cemetery lot at 9:30 a.m. for the next several weeks, weather permitting. If it is rainy, we will not have a live service. Either way, worship videos will continue to be posted on our website and facebook. There will be ushers to guide you, so please check in with them as you pull into the lot! You have the choice of bringing your own lawn chairs to sit in - we have a designated area for that - or you can stay in your vehicle and worship from there. If you plan to sit in the seating area, please park in the spots closest to the road so those worshipping in their cars can park closer. Thank you!
April 18th Worship Service

Welcome to St. John's
In spite of the thousands and thousands of news, social, and adorable animal-based websites on the internet, you're here.
My guess is that it's not an accident. Either through our Facebook or through Google or through some other source, you were looking for more information on this congregation. And I hope that means you're looking for a place to be in touch with the sacred, to be found by the sacred, to be forgiven and to be reconciled and to serve and to be served.
And that's a hard search. It takes time. It can challenge the things we thought we knew. God's Word creates more mysteries to explore than hard facts to argue over. And it's here, it's holy. it's as real as you or me for those who are listening for God's still, and silent voice (1 Kings 19:12).
And that mystery is why we're here. We're a congregation of people devoted to these ministries and mysteries of Christ, given to us by God. We feed the hungry, we console the despairing, welcome the stranger, and find hope in the Word, because that's where God is found. We're a congregation centered around the divine promise of Jesus Christ.
Some of us are struggling with God. Some of us are resting in God. Some of us are finding inspiration in God and doing great stuff. All of us, myself included are learning, as we encounter God in Word and Sacrament.
If that's what you're looking for, you know where to find us.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Axel Kaegler
P.S.: These are my adorable animal go to-s:
