This is a reminder that we will temporarily suspend our midweek Bible study from Ash Wednesday (February 18th) until after Easter for our midweek Lenten services. Our weekend Bible Studies (Saturday night and Sunday morning) and Sunday School will also pause now until after Easter.
The race is on! Thank you to those who have already contributed to our school’s Accelerated Reader Prize Patrol fundraiser. It's not too late to help out! Drop your change in one (or more) of the classroom jars outside in the church narthex or in the gym hallway during the week. The classroom who collects the most change will win a pizza party! After week 1, grades 1-8 have raised $41.62. Mrs. Spaude’s class 5th & 6th class is in the lead, followed very closely by Miss Schleicher’s 3rd and 4th grade class!
Our Wednesday Lenten Dinners will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. As in the past we are asking for desserts for the dinners. Dinners will be served after the 3:15 pm services, 4:15 pm until 5:45 pm. We are asking everyone attending for a free-will donation for their meal. Please see the sign-up sheet on the hall table for desserts and for volunteers willing to help serve and/or clean up. (Children must be accompanied by an adult). Our meal for Ash Wednesday will be fried chicken and cheesy potatoes.
St. John’s School Talent Show, A Spotlight Spectacle, is scheduled for Friday, February 27th, 6:00 pm, in the church Fellowship Hall. Students in grades K-8th are encouraged to join in the fun! Concessions will be available with all proceeds going to our school’s music program.
A new Grow with Me class, taught by our preschool director, Mrs. Laurie Peil, will be held March 2nd - March 23rd.

The cost is $25 for 4 weeks; application forms are available in the church and school offices.
