If you have something to contribute, please mark the packages for the quilting project and place them in front of the cabinets on the west wall of the kitchen. Thanks to all who have supported this project.

During September we will be raising money for the St. John's Scholarship Fund. The fund benefits college, Seminary students and anyone who is doing continuing education or training beyond high school that is a member of this congregation. We need your financial help to ensure that these scholarships will continue to be available. Please give prayerful thought to help with this special ministry at St. John’s.

PREMISE: An opportunity for NWOS Lutherans to learn about our Lutheran heritage from 1517-2017, including the opportunity to connect with each other.

FORMAT: The Reformation 500 Team has 3-4 sites in each of the 7 Synod Conferences which will be open to provide a Reformation-related experience. You can print a schedule and take a tour of nearby sites…or plan a road trip!

SCHEDULE: Each site has committed to being open from 10:00am- 2:00pm. Sites offering a 20-30 minute presentation such as a speaker, concert, or drama will do so at 3 times: 10:00am, 11:30am, and 1:30pm. This will give time to travel to the next site/next presentation. Other sites will offer visual arts, stained glass windows, artifacts, etc. for browsing with someone there to explain what is on display. Participating congregations will provide simple hospitality and refreshments such as coffee and cookies/snacks.
