UPCOMING EVENTS

Join us for outdoor worship again this summer, one Sunday each month! We are packing in all our favorite experiences from the park (and some new ones too) into three incredible summer Sundays! The first will be on Sunday, June 12, with worship at 10:00am followed by a special performance by the Southern Wakes Ski Team. Lunch is provided by Gracie's Kitchen Food Truck (menu and prices will be available soon). On July 24 bring your pets, as we will be blessing them with a prayer and a special gift! Lakeland Animal Shelter will be there too with adoptable pets, and Mr. P's Grilled Cheese join us for lunch. August 21 will close out our summer with a church picnic and inflatable obstacle course for the kids! Each of our outdoor services will be a great opportunity to worship, connect or reconnect with your church family, and invite a friend!

SUMMER KIDS REUNION | St. John's KIDS! is hosting a mid summer reunion at church on August 7 during the 9:30 AM worship service. Kids can participate in an hour of kids ministry programming and enjoy water play and summer treats outside on the front lawn to follow. Wear your swim suit, flip flops, sunglasses and bring a towel! We will have fun splashing around with our friends! ...who's going to throw the first water balloon...you or Steve?!? Weather plan? We are planning for sunshine! :) In the event of inclement weather, we will hold the programming indoors without the water play but games and treats will be available for kids to participate in. Follow e-mail and social media for updates.

OUTDOOR WORSHIP & PICNIC | What better way to say goodbye to summer than by having a picnic in the park? Join us for our last Outdoor Worship service at Babe Mann Park, followed immediately after by a Church Picnic! Picnic will include food, bouncy houses, and tie dying a free St. John's KIDS! t-shirt for the children. The church will provide hotdogs, chips, lemonade, and cookies to eat. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a fun-filled Sunday celebration! Inclement weather? If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will move our 10:00 a.m. worship service INDOORS at St. John's. Watch Facebook and e-mail notifications for any changes each week.

OKTOBERFEST | St. John's KIDS! and Thrivent are once again partnering with Elkhorn's Chamber of Commerce to put on a kids area during Elkhorn's 17th Annual Oktoberfest celebration! We will have inflatables, a pumpkin patch ready for picking, and fall games for children and families. The kids area will be open 10 AM- 2 PM on the town square during the festivities on Saturday, October 15th. Bring your family and friends to this fun Fall event!
