1. Pastor Call update: At our Call Meeting on Thursday, June 11th , Pastor Preston Heuer of Abiding Savior, Elk River, MN, was called to be our next pastor. Please keep him in your prayers as he deliberates his calls to both St. John’s and Abiding Savior.

2. The 4th of July falls on a Saturday this year and therefore our Elders decided to cancel our regular Saturday 6:00 pm service that day. We will have the Sunday morning 10:00 am service on July 5th as usual.

3. There are still a few tickets left for the Great Lakes Loons vs Dayton Dragons game on Sunday, July 12th; starting time, 1:05 pm. Tickets are $22.50/seat, which includes a $20 food voucher. Deadline to sign up is next Sunday, July 5th. Look for the envelopes on the hall table to order and pay for tickets. Please make checks payable to Tammy Ludy.

4. Family Fun Nights: From July 6th through July 27th, Mrs. Peil will be having open playground on Monday evenings from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm, to give children and families a chance to get together and visit. Bring your lawn chair and plan to have a great time visiting while the children have fun playing! Everyone is invited, so bring a friend. (Please note: if it is raining at 6:00 pm, the event is cancelled for that night.) Please, children must wear playground-appropriate shoes, and be accompanied by an adult.

5. New this year! We will have special areas for our older children and feature a different game each night: July 6th

   - Corn Hole competitions; July 13th

   - Four-Square; July 20th

   - Kick ball; July 27th

   - Water fights.

   Each Monday night, all children attending will be entered into a drawing for gift cards! Snacks and drinks will be provided. We will have a hotdog picnic on July 27th

6. Someone has gifted St. John’s with several copies of the Synod's monthly magazine, Forward in Christ. These may be found on the Usher’s stand and on the table outside the church office. Please take a copy for yourself and/or for someone you know who might enjoy reading the magazine.
