Under Construction!
High Schoolers
St. John’s is blessed with gifted and dedicated teens, many
of whom are active in a variety of ways within and beyond the congregation.
We’re thankful for our
Youth Ministry Team of Scott, Dan, Mike, Jenny, and Pastor Paul. And we’re
thankful for parents who encourage their teens to get involved; and for church
members who notice, care about, get to know, pray for, and encourage the young
people in your lives-wherever they may be.
We meet on Sunday mornings in the parsonage for food,
fellowship, and study. Get there before the donut eaters!
We planted a corn patch a couple of summers with the
proceeds going to world hunger causes. Our commitment to tithe our gifts and
fund raisers-as in giving away 10%- along with the full proceeds from
selling sweet corn, has allowed us to give $600 to our ELCA World Hunger
Appeal, and another $600 to help our sister parish, Ulong’a, in Tanzania
with food and school tuition needs. We’re thankful we can be a blessing!
In 2006, eight of us attended the ELCA Youth Gathering
in San Antonio with 36,000 other Lutherans! We received very generous
financial support from one of our members-to defray these costs and free us
to do some service projects.
In 2007, we took two
mission trips: one, over spring break to Chicago; the other, in July to
Crossways Pine Lake Camp where we helped build a cabin (which gifts from our
St. John’s Sharing God’s Blessings Appeal) are helping to pay for!
Our BIG dream for 2009
is to consider a Mission Trip to Tanzania! We’re going to explore a visit to
our missisonaries, Dr. Steve & Bethany Friberg.
