St. John's Lutheran Church
The realm of the impossible
The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something and enter God’s realm, where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love.
—Corrie ten Boom

Love makes us worthy
Unlike God, who loves unconditionally, humans often make choices and set limits when doling out affection. But Thomas Merton reminds us, “Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.”
Normally Lent is a time when we cancel all meetings in order to participate in Bible Studies and Studies and Worship. This year we are again providing the Adult Catechism—Basics of the Faith.
As part of our continuing celebration of our 200th Anniversary, we are providing Cottage Meetings in order to think about and dream about our future. What is God calling us to do these next 200 years?
Jesus calls to us saying “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” He is never one more thing. He is the only thing. Where is our Good Shepherd leading us these next 200 years?
Prayer, Devotions, Worship
The Lenten Spiritual Journey
Pray that God would lead us through the power of the Holy Spirit to follow Jesus. Pray that the Holy Spirit will lead us, as individuals and as a congregation to follow our Good Shepherd.
Don’t forget to pick up devotions from St. John’s that lead us through the Lenten Spiritual Journey. Entering more deeply into the life of faith is part of Lent.
Plan to attend worship on Ash Wednesday and attend worship every Sunday in Lent. Spirituality begins in worship.
Jesus has promised to meet us in worship every single Sunday morning. He is waiting for you. What could be more important?
See you in Worship,
Pastor Johnson
