Take a copy for yourself and another for a friend for blessing from God s word. You can recycle old copies of Portals of Prayer by dropping them off in the church office. PASTORAL STAFFING AT ST. JOHN S This Sunday all members will have opportunity to engage in a discussion about the pastoral staffing needs of our congregation. A 12-item questionnaire has been developed which will be used as the basis for the discussion. Members will meet in the sanctuary by 9:15 and then be divided into seven or so small groups led by elders and other church leaders. Comments, insights and suggestions will be noted. On Monday, February 5 the Elders will review and tabulate the comments in order to help decide our next steps. [NOTE: members who cannot attend the session on Sunday, or those who prefer to write their answers may submit written responses, by placing them in the designated box in the narthex.] Please understand that no decisions have been made about our future pastoral staff. If the congregation does wish to call another Associate Pastor that choice will have to be made at a special voters meeting at which time job descriptions would also be approved. THE SEASON OF LENT begins on Ash Wednesday, which this year is February 14. To mark the season, Wednesday worship services will be held at 10am and 6:30pm each of the six weeks of Lent. Holy Communion will be celebrated Ash Wednesday. Please join us. LENTEN SUPPERS will be served by the youth group and parents prior to each of the Wednesday Lenten services starting February 14.

Held at the Rochester Marriott, this 2-day video event will help couples build the God-honoring marriages they deserve.

For more information or to register by February 4 visit When you were standing at the altar reciting your marriage vows, did you have any idea that marriage would be so complex? It probably didn t take you long to understand that your spouse is not as much like you as you thought. But figuring them out is more than just an equation. Marriage is more than a science; it s an art. And like any art form, requires an investment of time, focused study and the right tools. If you need to soften some of the edges in your relationship, or want to brighten the landscape of your marriage, The Art of Marriage is for you. This 6-session marriage event allows you to experience God s design for marriage from expert teachers and humorous vignettes. You ll graduate in a few hours better educated about your marriage, your spouse and yourself. THRIVENT FINANCIAL MEMBERS who have Choice Dollars from 2017 yet to designate, are reminded that the deadline for doing so is March 31. After that date you lose the ability to give that money to a qualified charitable organization. While there are many worthy eligible organizations, we hope you consider designating St. John s as the recipient of your Choice Dollars. In 2017 our church received $5,370 from the program. To make a donation go to your Thrivent online account or call and when prompted, say Thrivent Choice.
