Never read the Bible? Curious how different parts connect to the greater narrative and how they relate to our lives today? Join Pastor Tom on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. at St. John's as we take a deeper dive into the Bible and the past week's sermon, based on the churchwide series "the big picture". All are welcome, including those who have not been part of our Tuesday morning Bible study in the past. No need to sign up, just join us!

Our sanctuary will be open on Tuesdays from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. for silent prayer. There is no structure or programming during this time—just sacred space created to connect and commune with God. Light music, Bibles, and prayer guides will be available. All are welcome. "Be still, and know that I am God." – Psalm 46:10

We will share important updates on the call process for our Associate Pastor, exciting building renovation plans, and more. Together, we will continue to pray and dream about how we can fulfill God's vision for St. John's—to be a place where people are known by God, known by others, and come to know themselves. Childcare will be available. No need to RSVP—just bring a dish to pass!

St. John’s KIDS! jr. invites all children (Babies-4K students) to join the Palm Sunday parade! We invite all our little ones, St. John’s KIDS! jr. participants, to be part of our joyous parade on Palm Sunday!

It’s sure to be a heartwarming and joyful celebration – join in the fun! Regular St. John’s KIDS! jr. programming (including nursery) will follow the parade during the 10AM service. Contact Cassie Quist with questions at kids@stjohnselkhorn.com.

Children and their parents are invited to join Pastor Tom for our yearly First Communion Class on Maundy Thursday, April 17 at 6:00pm.

Parents are encouraged to sign up their child as soon as they believe they are ready, which is typically around 2nd-4th grade. First Communion Sunday will be held on Easter Sunday, April 20 at the 10:00 a.m. service. To sign up, register online or contact the church office! *At least one parent is required to attend with their child.
