St. John's Lutheran Church
Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act. It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship. Forgiveness is a catalyst creating the atmosphere necessary for a fresh start and a new beginning. It is the lifting of a burden or the canceling of a debt.
—Martin Luther King Jr.

Love makes us worthy
Unlike God, who loves unconditionally, humans often make choices and set limits when doling out affection. But Thomas Merton reminds us, “Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.”
Our Vision is to be a church
for all generations nurturing the faith
by supporting young families.
When St. John’s worships, all the baptized are expected to be present to worship our God. We worship Him in the most ancient, historical, western rite which dates back millennia. When we worship, we enter into something bigger than ourselves—for these are the ways of God.
When we worship, we enter into something that has been passed down to us, and we are dedicated to passing on the faith to upcoming generations. Children learn to worship by worshiping. There is no minimum age for worship, (nor a maximum age).
In fact, we are all the children of God—from the oldest to the youngest of us. Sometimes young families need help. When they do, remember to help. We worship God not as individuals, but as the body of Christ, the communion of saints, the holy catholic church. We are the community that the Holy Spirit has called together in baptism to worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Worship is a gift from God. Spend time with God: praising Him, listening to His Word for our lives, being reminded of who we are and whose we are—we desperately need these things. The Lord provides.
See you in Worship,
Pastor Johnson
