Regarding participation in the Blessed Sacrament of Christ’s True Body and Blood: Because oneness at the altar presupposes oneness in faith and doctrine, we expect that all who commune at the Lord’s altar are members in good standing of an LCMS congregation. We ask that all who commune register on a communion card. All visitors should state their home LCMS congregation. First time visitors please speak to Pastor Dreyer. Individual cups for those desiring them are available as you approach the altar.

thank you A very special thank you to all the wonderful people of St. John who have generously given monetary gifts towards new choir robes which arrived in time for today’s Easter worship services! We appreciate and are very grateful for your support. All praise, glory and honor be to God as we continue to sing praises to our risen King. St. John Adult Choir
Summer Class Offered Since I found out that Adult Bible Class will end soon because of the change of times of worship services, I am considering to teach a formal class during Sunday evenings throughout most of the summer. Perhaps we will have a potluck of sorts and then have class. The class will be "How does the Lutheran faith survive in a growing secular society?" Lately I have heard many concerning issues that are confronting our members and former members of St. John regarding their Christian faith. If I do offer this course, I encourage the entire congregation to participate especially the younger members of our church including high school age. Please give me your thoughts regarding this idea and times in which to offer the class. Please refer to Pastor’s Blog at www.ologos.me. Pastor Dreyer
adult catechisis classes will be starting soon. Please watch the bulletin and newsletter for starting date and time. All members wanting a refresher course are also welcome to attend.
One of my four goals for this year is to have every member own their own hymnal and bring it to church and Bible Class. Since in the past so many years the Church went to putting the hymnal in the pews (which is a very good thing) the hymnal became a Sunday morning book and not, in good Lutheran tradition, part of the prayer life during the week. I encourage young and old to purchase their own hymnal and each Sunday I will explain a little bit about the rich material found in this new hymnal. The leather bound is a lighter hymnal but obviously costs a little more. I will be happy to take orders and pick up the hymnals for you. Just make the check out to St. John. Pastor Dreyer
CTS Sunday, April 19, at 4:00 pm, the Seminary Kantorei will hold its Easter Choral Vespers in Kramer Chapel at the Seminary.
WYNEKEN SCHOOL BOARD MEETING at 7:00 pm on Thursday, April 16. The entire congregation is welcome and encouraged to attend.
Easter, The Resurrection of Our Lord
The Old Testament + Job 19:23-27
“Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!”
The Epistle + 1 Corinthians 5:6-8
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
The Holy Gospel + Mark 16:1-8
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
