A Note from the Pastor...
Blessings on this cold winter’s day,
We have made it through another Advent and Christmas season. Far removed from our thoughts is the gift of the Christ child that we received as a baby just a little over a week ago. Yet what an amazing gift we have received!
This gift of God’s love came down to us in the humblest of ways in the innocence and the vulnerability of a baby. When you consider the ultimate power of God, it seems almost absurd that God should come to us in such a powerless way. After all, this is the same God that created the world with a word, who breathed life into humanity, who created the stars and the great sea monsters. When we consider that the God of the universe humbly took on the form of a baby, it seems almost unbelievable. However, this is how God chooses to come, not as an all-powerful sovereign Lord, but instead as a powerless, dependent baby.
Christmas is a reminder that God comes to us in the most unexpected ways. The God of all power chooses powerlessness as the way to show us we are loved. The Lord of Hosts comes not to be served but to serve. The God of Creation becomes a part of creation in order to free us from the power of death and sin. In the dead of winter, when the darkness surrounds us and all life seems gone, God comes to us in the form of a baby and hope is born anew.
During this cold winter season, I pray that you might experience anew the powerful presence of the God who comes to us in small, yet powerful and unexpected ways. May you be moved by the power of God's love and presence to extend to others the gift of love that comes in and through Emmanuel, “God with us”.
I hope you all had a safe and blessed Christmas and may you begin this new year with the promise of God’s presence with and near you always.
In Christ,
Pastor Brian

A Note from Jeremy…
Happy New Year! 2018 was a great year. I've spoken lots already about how good the ELCA Youth
Gathering was this past summer, and about how much I appreciate that our middle school and high school
youth groups are getting together on a regular basis to not only to hang out and have fun together, but also
to spend time in intentional fellowship getting to know each other better and volunteering alongside each
other. I have confidence that God will continue to work and move in the youth in 2019 and I'm excited to see
where God will take us!
Peace,
Jeremy

Preschool News Happy New Year! Preschoolers are always happy to explore our Drama Room. It has a block corner, a
kitchen area, a writing center and a science center complete with a Russian tortoise named Tilly, and a
gecko named Geckomole. The Drama Room theme for January is Winter. The kitchen area has all the
fixings to make pretend hot chocolate, coffee and tea. The kitchen play food changes each month and
always has a few foods from other countries. The writing center is filled with cards, papers, and many
different writing utensils for children to practice their skills. Time spent playing is essential for children’s
development. A child learns self-regulation, communication skills, conflict resolution, and an opportunity to
act out scenarios they’ve seen or heard in real life. We hope your new year is filled with lots of time for play.
-Jana Bruhschwein, Preschool Director
High School Youth Group 9th-12th graders are invited to join us Wednesdays at
7:30pm in the youth room to eat snacks, enjoy

introduce the theme for the day and tell a story from the Bible. Then,

groups to further discuss the story and what we can learn from it.
Come check out our new theme in January: “Operating System:
Update the way you react” where we’ll talk about self-control. We’ll be
studying a different verse from Proverbs each week to learn how God
gives us the ability to slow down and make good decisions—ones that
keep us and those around us safe.

“Parenting the Middle Years” Small Group
This short-term book study/conversation small group will address the isolation and uncertainty many parents
feel as they confront “the middle years.” The purpose is to build camaraderie among St. John members
whose children have moved beyond early childhood and into the tween/teen years. The topic will focus on
sexuality and the ways that parents can support young people. Using content from two books as the
launching pad for conversations, this group will provide time for reflection and conversation about real-life
parenting challenges.
Watch The Herald for more information in the coming months!
