November  2024

Hard to believe dear friends that I first stepped into St John’s pulpit 9 short years ago.  Where has the time gone? These past few years we have faced many uncertainties and lost several dear church friends, but remain strong sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Crown Point region. The Word of God calls us to faithfulness in serving our Lord Jesus Christ. In this month where we celebrate “Thanksgiving”, let’s be grateful for the One who loves us most. Embrace the spirit of the season as we do our best to follow God’s direction and leadership in our daily lives. HE is faithful!

 

Sunday November 17 will be a special day of Thanksgiving and worship as we will host the Billy Sampson Trio in the 10 am service.  Plan now to be with us and invite a friend! There is no charge for this concert.  Blessings are guaranteed!

 

 Our Ladies Guild are collecting for Christmas gift bags to present to our dear friends at the Lowell Health Nursing Home. See Kathy Thacker for specific gift bag needs.  A collection box will be in the narthex thru the first week of December. Donations are also being accepted in the church office for the annual Guild Christmas Raffle (12/8) in December.  Call Jill Dill or Kathy Thacker with any questions.

 

Lastly…November is also a very important month for America.  We will honor our veterans of foreign wars in a special way on November 10th this year.  Come out on this special day as we sing, stand and show our support for the veterans who have fought for our freedoms! May God Bless America!

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!

 

Pastor Wendell and Kathy
