UPCOMING EVENTS

The word "afraid" is found over 200 times in the Bible. At the very beginning, it was out of fear that Adam hid from God (Genesis 3:10). Fear of shame, rejection, failure and the unknown are as old as the human race. Yet so many of us still walk the path of fear alone. So join us in January for a new Sermon + Group series as we stand in the tension between our fears and God's promises. We will learn that fear is not a sin, and we are not alone. “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." (Psalm 56:3)

Join us for worship at all services on Sunday, January 26 as we celebrate all that God has done through our church family in the past year and pray with expectation for the season to come! The business portion of the annual meeting will take place at 12:00 p.m. (after the last service), all are welcome and (Covenant) members are encouraged to attend.

Join us on Sunday, February 2nd for our annual Football Sunday! Wear your favorite jersey and bring your team spirit as Pastor Tom continues our current sermon series on Fear. It's a Sunday that you won't want to miss!

BLAST youth group is serving pancakes & sausage! Come enjoy a delicious breakfast before of after worship (7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.). No ticket needed- just come and enjoy! The free will offering will help BLAST raise money for their upcoming winter retreat and future mission trips. St. John's KIDS are encouraged to wear their pajamas!

Proverbs 13:22 states, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." What legacy will you someday leave behind? Join us for this month's Generations Potluck as we learn about how to leave a legacy for our loved ones that both honors God and extends our love well into the next generation. This goes beyond financial as we consider the virtues we leave behind such as generosity, forgiveness, and peace. Our guest speaker is Attorney Ted Johnson, member of St. John's and partner at Godfrey, Leisbsle, Blackbourn & Howarth, S.C. in Elkhorn.

Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Join us for one of the most powerful services of the year as we confess our sins and watch them burn in the shadow of the cross. All ages are encouraged to attend. St. John's KIDS Jr. (nursery) will be available for ages 0-3 years. We will also serve a Soup & Sliders dinner from 5:00-6:00pm. All we ask is that you bring a non-perishable food item for the Walworth County Food Pantry.

Jesus came to pour out His life for others, and He calls His followers to do the same. Join us for the sacred season of Lent as we spend 40 Days (plus Sundays) preparing for Easter by contemplating this truth. We will join together as a church to read through the Gospel of Mark, go deeper into God's Word and relationships through small groups, consider opportunities to serve others, and participate in extra services such as Ash Wednesday and Holy Week. Mark 10:45, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
