MARK YOUR
CALENDAR:
Sunday, Sept. 13th is "God's Work.
Our Hands" Sunday. What does this mean? God's work. Our hands Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) - one church, freed in Christ to serve & love our neighbor.
The idea is this: ELCA members are called to put their faith into action by engaging in service activities in their neighborhood or community. Watch your bulletin for important information about this event coming in September!
Please stop by the table in the Narthex between services June 28 or July 5 to help support Aline Skogstoe's YAGM
trip to the United Kingdom! She is selling "miles" for $2 - plus you'll get a thank you gift! Check back each Sunday to see the progress and to make sure she doesn't get stuck in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
Mark you calendar for Carol Joy Holling Camp Quilt Auction coming Saturday, July 25. To view quilts, visit

JUNE COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS
The St. John's council has committed to participating in the ELCA - Day of Service on September 13, 2015. On this day, St. Johns will take our ministry into the community for a day of service. There will be service projects for all ages, so please save the date for a great day of doing God's work with our hands. After careful thought and a survey of Saturday night worshipers over an extended period, the council has approved the recommendation from the Worship Life Team to move the Saturday night worship service from 6 p.m. to 5 p.m. beginning on July 4th. It is the council's hope that this will enable younger families to worship on Saturday evening if they desire and allow for more daylight in the winter, as well as allow more time for evening activities. St. Johns council members participated in an in depth discussion regarding the aging sound board and system. Council members approved moving forward on a sound system analysis so that we can make educated decisions as we work toward sound improvements throughout the church where needed. The changes will happen in stages, but it is the council's goal to improve the worship experience with a dependable sound system. A complete copy of the minutes is available by mail or email by contacting the church office.

The Friends Christ Care group sends a
HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this years BARK B Q a wonderful success. A wonderful addition was the Pet Blessing conducted by Pastor David, Pastor Justin, and Pastor Bob Schlismann of Trinity Episcopal Church. We do not yet have the final figures but early account had nearly 800 people attend and about $9200 in the free will offering box. When we get the final results, we will let everyone know. God gave us a beautiful day and delicious food, and everyone and their pets had a wonderful time. Thank you to all who worked so hard, including Chef Jared, Jim Mertz, Jim Carter, Pastor David, Carol Timperley, Nancy Schwertley, Jean Corona and Matt, Jan Henning, and members of the Friends group (Kayla, Connie, Tom, Eline, Naoma, Carol, Pat, Warren.) Also many thanks to Diane Sobotka, Richard & Leona Pfeifer, Don & Bette Miller, Terri Hall, Dave & Linnea Caauwe, Carol Severa, Jerry & Janice Sokol, Cindy & Duane Nelson, Joanne Claussen, and everyone who brought raffle baskets, cookies, and bars. Sorry if I left anyone out. We even had helpers from McCool Junction (Mindy, JJ, and Casper Mertz) and Virginia (Connie Steward.) A special thank you to Sydney Hurley, Sara Abler, and Dr. Sally Beutler, who organized everything , and to all the sponsors and Animal Shelter volunteers. Everyone worked so hard. St. Johns is truly blessed to have such wonderful people supporting the ministry of our church. That original Reverse Offering continues to grow. The FRIENDS Group
