Welcome Back to Worship

Moving forward with phase

2 The pandemic is real. There are

still more questions than answers

when it comes to the COVID-19

virus. We know this virus will

probably be affecting life for the

next year or so, and we are far from discovering what the new “normal” will

be.

The church council decided to prepare for Phase 2 of our plan to begin the

first of July. We are fully aware that every person/family is at a different

emotional place with this pandemic. We will continue to provide online and

radio services for those who remain most comfortable in isolation.

Phase 2 Highlights for Worship (beginning July 5th): Masks will be optional

Holy Communion will only be offered July 5th.

Physical Distancing will remain.

We will remain seated during worship.

We will have more singing.

Nursery and Kid’s Praise will be offered (9:15 and 10:45).

Welcome Center will offer Coffee and bottled water (no donuts)

We will not pass offering plates.

Note from Intern Hi, I am Charlie Frekot and I will be the intern

for the next year! I am from Columbia, Maryland,

which is in between Baltimore and DC. I com-

pleted my undergraduate studies at Susquehanna

University which is an ELCA college. I was able

to take a two-week Interfaith focused trip to Jeru-

salem, Bethlehem, and Tel Aviv. I spent five sum-

mers working at Mar-Lu-Ridge which is an Out-

door Ministry site in Maryland. It was a big part

of my faith journey, and I am always happy to talk

about Outdoor Ministry! I have two sisters: one is

a few years older and a teacher, and the other is

my twin who is currently studying in South Africa for her Masters. I am a pretty big

sports fan, and follow basketball and football most closely. I played football in high

school and was blessed to have coaches that understood when I had church commit-

ments that were during the preseason and some weekend practices. Recently I have

been getting into board games and have really enjoyed learning new games. I am very

excited and looking forward to serving with the communities of St. John, Celina and

St Paul, North Star. See you all in July!

“So when each separate part works as it should, the whole body grows and

builds itself up through love.” Ephesians 4:16

We are in need of volunteers!!! Currently we are in need of volunteers for VBS,

Kid’s Praise, and Nursery. Without the help and dedication of our church mem-

bers, we would not be able to provide these amazing opportunities. So please, if

SEWING CIRCLE NO MEETING

AT 9 AM IN THE SEWING ROOM

From the Sewing Room

By Marilyn Nelson

Eileen Rhodes

Co-chairs Mission in Action

A STITCH IN TIME - SAVES NINE

Hmmmmm - I can't remember -

Which Bible verse is that?

Is it one of the 10 Commandments?

It seems to be a word of caution.

An instruction, like wisdom.

THOU SHALL NOT MESS AROUND,

FORGETTING TO STITCH.

Dear Sewing Circle Friends,

I have missed you terribly.

Surely the sewing room feels lonely.

And even "sew"

I know

There are those of us

Who have not missed a stitch.

Yours until we are gathered together,

Wrapped in quilts

And in Jesus' arms.

Marilyn

Thank you for all the supplies you donated to help the Wernle residents throughout the

winter. Wernle is now accepting donations again and as you might expect, the cupboards

are bare due to the quarantine. As we head through spring and into summer, we ask that

you please help us replenish our supply of essential items for the children here.

We need shampoo, body wash, deodorant, hand soap and hand sanitizer. All soaps must

be in liquid form. Ivory body wash is needed for the kids with allergies. We could really

use “no show” or crew socks and smaller size jeans. All items are for boys and girls. We

are out of towels and wash cloths. Hair combs and brushes are in short supply as well.

Please have all donations turned into the tubs outside the Narthex or down in the FLC

by July 31st.

Pantry. It is often asked “What should I give?” or “What is

needed?” In response, we are doing an “Item of the Month”

donation. Although any item is greatly appreciated, the “Item of the

great way that St. John is Making the Love of Christ Known.
