On February 4, our 5th and 6th grade Bake Sale raised $950. These funds will be sent to Lutheran World Relief (LWR) to help feed those in need by helping purchase chicks, baby pigs and other farm animals for families in need! We will continue collecting funds to help feed others because we are called to care for our neighbors. You can donate directly to LWR or by sending funds to St. John’s. Here is the website for more information community.elca.org/elcagoodgifts.
Lenten Season
During the 2021 Lenten season we invited you to join with all of God’s people in revisiting the promises made on your behalf in baptism and renewed in your Affirmation of Baptism (Confirmation) when you answered the question, “Do you intend to continue in the covenant God made with you in holy baptism:
to live among God’s faithful people,
to hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s supper,
to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed,
to serve all people, following the example of Jesus,
and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth?”
Our response was and continues to be, “I do, and I ask God to help and guide me.”
During 2021 Lent we journeyed together as we continued to learn what it means to live into these promises.
