Join us at St. John’s School from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. for Fall Festival featuring a carnival theme! St. John’s church and school families are invited to enjoy food, games, crafts, and other fun activities for all ages. Mark your calendars—we’d love to see you there!  

We need your help! WELS high school students from all across the country will be traveling to Milwaukee for the WELS National Choral Fest at Wisconsin Lutheran High School from November 4-6, and we are looking for host families for 25 students from Arizona Lutheran Academy. Host families are responsible for providing beds, breakfast, snacks at night, and transportation to and from WLHS. Our deadline for finding host families is October 1. For more information and to volunteer, click here to contact Kerry Ognenoff.  

Sunday, September 18 & Thursday, September 22
On September 6, we held an open forum to share the results from this summer's feasibility study for a potential capital campaign. The feasibility study also yielded a number of questions and comments which will be addressed at two special open forums. Please join us at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday and/or 6:30 p.m. on Thursday for more information and discussion on these questions and comments, and click here for more information on this summer's feasibility study.

Looking for a way to connect with other members of St. John's in a more informal setting than worship or Bible study? Want to dig deeper into the truths of God's Word presented at church each weekend? Check out our latest round of Growth Groups! Click here for more details and to register for these small, in-home groups meeting for three weeks this fall.

Beginning Sunday, September 18
We're kicking off our fall Bible study and Sunday school schedule from 9:15 - 10:15 a.m.! All children from three years old through teens are invited to attend Sunday school; older teens and adults are invited to attend Bible study in the Fellowship Hall. Click here to register for Sunday school - we look forward to seeing you there!

1. We will hold a congregational meeting on Tuesday, September 6. This meeting has two main purposes: 1) to share the results of this summer's capital campaign feasibility study and 2) to extend a call for a pastor of youth and outreach. All congregation members are invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall or virtually at www.sjtosa.org/video for the open forum portion of the meeting. 

2. We will hold our annual Unity Sunday worship service. This year, we're thankful to return to our traditional Unity Sunday format of a single worship service in our school gym. Please plan to join us on Sunday, September 11, at 9:00 a.m., and click here for more information from our Board of Elders.

3. We will take a new step into the digital world and kick off a sermon podcast. Our pastors preach beautiful law-and-gospel sermons every week, and we want to share them with you! Beginning with Unity Sunday, we'll be distributing each week's sermon as a podcast on Tuesday morning. Watch for more information and a link coming soon.

1. Our students and faculty members came back together to begin another school year. With 154 students in grades K5-8th and 81 students in our Early Learning Center, we are blessed with many opportunities every day to share the good news about Jesus! 

2. Our Girl and Boy Pioneer groups began their year with a pizza party. Pioneers meets on Tuesday evenings (twice a month), and we're looking forward to lots of exciting activities this year! Pioneers is open to students in grades K5-8th, and it's not too late to register. Click here to sign up.
