Welcome to St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church!
Worship service begins at 10:15 am every Sunday and Wednesday.
Bible study is also every Sunday and Wednesday at 9:00 am. 
When arriving to worship enter through the main ramp doors that face Locust Street or South 6th Street. Look for the WELCOME banners!
You will be greeted with a smile!
If you have any questions when you enter just ask one of our Ushers or anyone! We are a welcoming and friendly congregation.

There is music during the worship service and we love to sing!

 When Holy Communion is offered, follow these helpful guidelines:
  • Two tables will hold the communion cups filled with wine. Worship assistants prepare single individual plastic communion cups ahead of time. Grape juice is available upon request.
  • THE WINE CUPS ARE COVERED UNTIL READY FOR USE.
  • PASTOR SANITIZES HIS HANDS UPON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE WAFER.
  • Communicants move forward from the center aisle one side at a time, single file, then move forward from the center aisle, to the table, and receive the wafer, then pick up a wine up and consume the elements.  Upon consumption, the communicant should dispose of their individual plastic cup in the receptacle near the outer aisle and return to his or her seat. Easy right?!
Offering plates are passed during Worship service. You may also visit stjohnscol.org and use the online giving option “click to donate” button.
At the conclusion of worship there is a simple coffee hour with a  Keurig Coffee Machine and some prepackaged snacks. 
Hymnals are in the pews for singing, and the weekly bulletins will contain the order of worship and announcements.  
Pastor is available at the conclusion of worship.
We do not have a staffed nursery but we know that sometimes children may need a little break! Our nursery has a speaker to hear the service if you need to use it.
Adult Bible Study & Children’s Faith Formation
Bible Study is held in the Narthex before the worship service and begins at 9am.
(Sept. to May) Children’s Sunday school is held downstairs in the Sunday School room at 9am each Sunday.
 If You Prefer to Worship Virtually through Technology visits the LIVESTREAM – through our Facebook page Sunday mornings at 10:15 am.
