WELCOME VISITORS - We are honored to have you worship with us today! During this COVID-era assembly, please wear a mask if you can. If you are new to St. John’s, RESTROOMS are off the lounge to the right (south side) of the main entrance. When leaving the pews, they will be on your left. The tower stairs (to your right while leaving the pews) lead down to the basement where there are another pair of restrooms. Feel free to use the LOUNGE if the pews become uncomfortable, or if you have children that need a break, or for any other need. Since the Sacrament of Communion is administered to those instructed and examined in the Faith as Confessional Lutherans understand it, you will receive a verbal blessing unless you speak with Pastor beforehand.
Annual Apologetics Conference will be held on Friday, October 22 at 7pm and Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Dearborn. This session, free to attend, will cover the topic “Naming the Demon: Apologetics in the Rabbit Hole” presented by Rev. Peter Burfeind. See the flyer in the narthex for additional information.

This week on Martin Luther’s Evening Prayer, Dr. Zeile’s sermon is based on Romans 9 “God decides,” the confirmation sermon from last year. Tune in Sundays at 6pm on AM 560 and/or Mondays at 8pm on AM 1440. The message is broadcast on 7 additional stations coast to coast. BUZZSPROUT – Other messages from Martin Luther’s Evening Prayer are also available anytime as a podcast found at: www.buzzsprout.com/34718 . We added a station, WWRB on August 1, which reaches Latin America and the Far East!
Directory & Email List – Directories are available from the church office. We also send the weekly bulletin out by email weekly. To make a request or submit your email address, call 734-287-2080 or email the office at stjohns13115office@comcast.net .
Stewardship Thought – Mark 10:6 “But from the beginning of creation …” In recent years, our country – along with most all the (formerly) Christian nations of Europe – has lost its way when it comes to marriage. We have ignored the fact that it is God who created us. We always go off the tracks when we forget that He made us and that everything good in this world comes from His hand. In big things and in small things, in the life of a nation or the life of an individual, things go dreadfully wrong when we ignore the Creator’s instructions for life.
The Electric Sign – is updated on a regular basis by the office. If you would like your church event added to the sign for advertisement, please speak with Katie Bauer during office hours.
Are you sitting with a young child? - Please help yourself to a “quiet bag” found in the closet.
