Christmas Greetings to you, my Friends,
I start this issue of “News & Notes” with sad news, but important news. This is part of an obituary that appeared in this morning’s edition of “Foster’s”:
A. Harvey Knepp died on December 21, at Riverside Rest Home at the age of 91. He was born December 2, 1920 near […]
Dear St. John’s Folks,
Here’s all the news that’s “fit to send” today:
It’s anticipated that the “closing” on the piece of land in Farmington that was given to St. John’s as part of Russell Newell’s estate will take place tomorrow!! Some of the Trustees thought this day would never come. It’s been a long ordeal, and […]
Dear St. John’s Folks,
Lots to share today, so I’ll jump right in. What a wonderful event Steve and Jeff (and all their partners in crime) gave to our congregation and community last Sunday evening. Even though I was in it, I still feel that I can say the concert was a blessing for our souls. […]
Hello St. John’s Church Folks,
Diana S. shared this piece, written by Pastor Ron Glusenkamp, and I thought it was a great way to start “News & Notes” this week: “In Silver Plume, Colorado there is a wonderful bakery. There are five letters printed above the door, BREAD. It’s clear, concise, simple and quite inviting. You […]
Dear St. John’s Church Family,
There’s some important news that I wanted to share with as many people as possible before Sunday morning. With great sadness, I share the news that Jerry Small passed away this morning. Betty, Dee, Scott and Emma have decided that Jerry’s Memorial Service will happen some time later - after the […]
Greetings to you, My Friends,
I’m going to jump right in to the news - to get this out to you, and then head home for the holiday!
*At Church Council meeting on Monday, Patrick M. reported that the “Angel Tree” stars represented requests from five facilities (i.e. schools or institutions for youth) and two families. There […]
Dear St. John’s Church Community,
This has been a busy week around the church. The most noticeable thing, which you will see on Sunday, is that the installation of our new sanctuary projection system has been completed. It works great. There are some wrinkles that will have to be worked out - like the lights partially […]
Dear St. John’s Church Family,
Let’s get started by saying thank you to all the women and men who have served our country in the Armed Forces - especially those who have been wounded in battle, or even lost their lives. And lest we forget, let’s offer thanks to their families who have made their own […]
Hello Friends,
The day is short and the list of “Things to do” is long, so I’ll jump right in, and be brief, too.
I hope the electricity is back for all our St. John’s Church family. This has been a long week for some of you, hasn’t it? We lost electricity at the church for a […]
Hi Folks,
Last Saturday’s storm - and the subsequent power outages - caused low turnout at church on Sunday, which caused last minute plans for the “Harvest & Holly Fair and Silent Auction” to fall short. So this special issue of “News & Notes” comes to you with some last minute requests - beginning with one […]
