This week at St. John
December 7th
Each year on the second Sunday of Advent we hear John the Baptist urging us to prepare for the coming of Christ. This coming Sunday we hear also Isaiah’s famous poem about the wolf lying down with the lamb. Come to worship, and receive the blessings from the word of the Lord.
Each Advent season, Christian communities all over the world return to Mary’s stirring song, the “Magnificat.” But the truth is, Mary doesn’t sing alone. She sings with a host of other magnificent women who “magnify” God’s mission of love and grace, preparing the way for Christmas morning and beyond. Join us for our Advent series with this devotional and Wednesday services.
Pick up a devotional in the Narthex!

From the Committees:
- Faith Formation: End of Summer Festival on August 20th was a fun evening! September 2nd the Youth delivered meals on wheels and the 3rd they helped with landscaping around the church. September 7th we packed LWR School Kits and on the 10th we packed goody bags for First Responders. Highway cleanup went quick because we had MANY hands to help. Husker Stadium seat fundraiser opportunities are still available - sign up online. Bibles were given to all 3rd graders and 3 year-olds. Looking ahead to the Roca Berry Farm trip on October 19th.
- Confirmation requirements updated: Acolyte at least 6 times, 30 sermon notes (holidays count) ½ can be done online but the other ½ needs to be in person. Serve Wednesday night meals and at least 2 service projects in the 2-year period.
- Worship & Music: Worship in the Park was a wonderful day - thank you everyone for your help! Will start looking towards the holidays with the Contemporary Christmas Concert being scheduled for December 19th at 7 PM. Christmas tree setup is scheduled for November 29th.
- Buildings & Grounds: The tree in the west lot was removed and the flag pole was repaired. All roof repair is started and going as planned. Maintenance to be noted: check gutters and North-East drain before winter, fridge in the kitchen may need a new seal, sidewalk near main entrance is unlevel and will most likely need to be removed and repoured.
