Do you have a will? Does your will need to be updated? Does your will include a Christian preamble? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, the process of creating or updating your will might seem overwhelming. Join us at noon in the Fellowship Hall as WELS Christian Giving counselor Rick Kneser helps answer these and other important questions. Click here to register (the presentation will also be broadcast online for those unable to attend in person).

Saturday, January 23
We'd like to invite our neighbors to our Early Childhood Open House on February 7, and we need your help. Meet in the church narthex at 10:15 a.m. to pick up maps and flyers. Hanging flyers on doors will take about an hour, and there will be no personal contact involved. Click here to e-mail Adam Goede if you're able to help.

Sunday, January 24
Join us in the Fellowship Hall at 9:15 a.m. for a “State of the Parish” presentation as we look back on blessings of the past year and ahead to plans for the future.

Beginning January 10
The most difficult question Christians often face in life is this: If God is all-powerful, and if he loves us, why must we suffer? In the book of Job, God invites us to go with Job through his suffering and eavesdrop on the lessons he learned. Please join us in-person or online for this study led by Rev. Dr. Mark Braun of Wisconsin Lutheran College. Click here for class materials, and click here to register for in-person attendance.

Please bring your gifts to the box in the narthex from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday or anytime you are at church for worship. Monetary donations may be placed in the “Feeding America” box at any time. Please make checks payable to St. John’s.
