There is no better place for a sinful person to be than in worship receiving what God brings us in His Word!
The worship services at St. John's make use of the liturgy and hymnody as found our synod's hymnal, Lutheran Service Book. Aided by music from the Senior Choir, Children's Choir, Cherub Choir, Handbell Choir, and our remarkable Schlicker organ consisting of 50 ranks and 2,666 pipes, it is a wonderful church in which to attend the Divine Service and receive God's good gifts of Word and sacrament each week!
________________________________________________________________________________________________
At this time of the year (September 10, 2023 - May 26, 2024), our services are held on
Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm and Sunday mornings at 7:45 and 10:15 am.
On Sunday mornings, we gather together for Sunday School, Bible Class, and the New Member class (when it is in session) at 9:00 am.
The Wednesday evening service offers a shortened version of the Divine Service and includes a celebration of the Lord's Supper. It is designed especially for those who have work obligations on Sunday mornings or those who would like to supplement their weekly Sunday worship.
Please join us!

Note: Holy Communion is celebrated as a part of all of our regular worship services throughout the year. This sacrament is for those who hold to our public confession of faith and are communicant members in good standing of a congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod or a church body in fellowship with the LCMS.
Our pastors work to be available to greet any guests before the start of our services, so please speak with one of them if you are a first time visitor and would like to receive Holy Communion.
