St John Lutheran Church
Third Sunday of Easter
April 19 -25, 2026
Weekly Announcements
Stewardship Notes: 1 Peter 1:18-19 – “You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or god, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” Christ ransomed us and bought us back from the slavery into which we were born. We do not belong to ourselves, to the devil or to the world. We belong to Jesus. Therefore, we live our lives not in accordance with our own wisdom, but in line with God’s Word.
Welcome Visitors – we are blessed to have you join us for Divine Service today. We kindly request you sign our Guest Book at the back of the church and/or fill out a Welcome Card and place it in the offering plate. Thank You.
Today – Voters Meeting after Worship. Light lunch served. Not a voting member? Pray about becoming one.
If you need parchment paper or food containers, we still have plenty of both. Paper is in the kitchen. Containers are in the Youth Room. Help Yourself!
Today – VBS Meeting following Voters Meeting in Upper Room.
No Host Lunch – Tuesday, April 21st, Noon at Cabinet Mountain Brewery. The sign-up list is in the back.
Earth Day is Wednesday, the 22nd. Spend some time that day or any day this week – take a walk, smell the grass and flowers, listen to the birds, pick up roadside garbage, plant something, sit and soak up the sun, etc. Thank God for every day of the year for all that He’s created.
Prayer Shawls – Since we only have four left, it would be great if somebody would be willing to make some.
