Pray for the family of Reba Hasebroock as they mourn her death

Pray for Greyson Dean Kmiecik, son of Kelsey Kmiecik, who is baptized today at the 10:15 AM
worship service. Greyson’s baptism sponsors are Chelsey Kmiecik, Joseph Kmiecik and LaDonna
Hardee.

Flowers on the altar this weekend are sponsored by Marcella Schellenberg in memory of
husband, Dallas, and son, Kirt; and by Cody & Aubrey Weitzenkamp in honor of their
wedding anniversary.

Thank you to the family of Kenneth Wrick for the beautiful flowers at the altar last weekend.
Also, thank you for the donation of flowers from the Reba Hasebroock funeral. Because the
funeral was Monday, the donated flowers were delivered to shut-ins. We appreciated being
able to enjoy them all.

Worship Services can now be viewed in their entirety on St. John’s facebook page at

Thank you so much to the WELCA and Christ
Care Groups who donated, prepared and
served snacks all week for the campers and
lunch for the camp leaders and helpers. The
campers loved the snacks and the leaders
and helpers couldn't wait for lunch every
day.
Many thanks to Jay & Liane Connelly who
were the host home for the three Camp
Carol Joy leaders. The leaders were very
appreciative of their hospitality.
And finally, thank you to St. John's for your

a lot of smiles, laughter and friendship
