As a congregational project this year, we are collecting money to support literacy.  A part of that project is a bi-lingual library for Tower Rock Elementary School.  St. John’s Staff issues a CHALLENGE to the congregation!  We challenge you to raise the $1000 dollars needed for Tower Rock’s library by December 23!  We have $270.00 so far.  If $1000 is collected, the staff will wear their least favorite football team’s jerseys on a Sunday in January.  Photo ops for selfies with Pastor Sally in a Packers’ jersey or Pastor Fred in a Vikings’ jersey will be available!  Let’s surprise the students at Tower Rock with new library books on their return after Christmas break!

St. John’s held a congregational meeting on October 7 at 9:00 a.m.  At this meeting we approved our 2019 budget, elected three members to serve on our Nomination Committee: Mary Weeks, Alice Chenoweth and Nancy Passehl.  We approved the purchase of a columbarium and elected the following members to serve on the Parish Planning Council:
