Never read the Bible? Curious how different parts connect to the greater narrative and how they relate to our lives today? Join Pastor Tom on Tuesdays September - May at 9:00 a.m. at St. John's as we take a deeper dive into the Bible and the past week's sermon, based on the churchwide series "the big picture". All are welcome, including those who have not been part of our Tuesday morning Bible study in the past. No need to sign up, just join us!

St. John's Students is BACK! Middle & High School Students - mark your calendars! EVERY.THIRD.WEDNESDAY. kicks off on September 17 from 6-8 PM and we're diving right in (literally) with water balloon volleyball! Get ready to cool off, catch up with friends and leaders, bring your competitive spirit, and enjoy a taco bar with all the fixings. After the volleyball match, we'll gather for dinner & small group discussions, led by your awesome leaders, Steve & Matt. Plus, Pastor Tom will welcome new & returning confirmation students as he introduces a monthly opportunity to explore what it means to affirm the faith into which you were baptized. Bring a towel, your energy, and your appetite - we can't wait to see you there!

On July 20, St. John's unanimously voted to call Pastor Eric Haskins as our new Associate Pastor—and he accepted! He’ll officially begin ministry on Sunday, August 24 at our Annual Church Picnic, Baptisms & Worship at Babe Mann Park. He will be formally installed during both worship services on Sunday, September 21, with a cake reception to follow. Let’s give him and his family a warm St. John’s welcome by filling his inbox with encouragement: pastoreric@stjohnselkhorn.com. We’re excited for this next chapter—stay tuned!

All interested singers are invited to join the St. John's choir. Rehearsals will be every third Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. We will be singing at one Traditional Service per month. Contact Jennifer Remus at mremus1980@gmail.com for more information. Hope to see you there!
