Thursday Lenten Dinner & Discipleship
Join us during Lent on Thursday evenings for a time of fellowship (a light soup supper at 6 pm), discipleship (Bible study at 6:30) and worship at 7 pm.


Workday at St. John’s Shelter
Please sign up to work at St. John’s Shelter on March 6th as we spruce up a well-used playground and outdoor area. At 10 am, we will tour the Shelter. We will work 11 am to 4 pm (sack lunch maker needed as well).

There will be a sign-up table indoors or outdoors wherever Café Rwanda is set up or you may contact Linda Barth at lindalu2@gmail.com or 916-381-6529. Thank you for making 1 day of service a part of your Lent!


Special Lenten Offering
This year’s special Lenten offering seeks to put a roof on the Rwamagana Lutheran School in Rwanda. The roof will cost $10,000 to build and will cover a 10 classroom, two-story building. As we seek to follow Jesus this Lent in a deeper way, we urge you to make a special offering so St. John’s can cover the costs of this project.

Please make checks out to St. John’s and mark “Rwanda Lutheran School Project” in the memo section. You can also make a donation online by visiting our donation page at www.stjohnslc.org/donate.


Lenten Devotional
It’s not too late to pick up a copy of our Lenten devotional. It will guide you through the book of Luke through daily readings, weekly Psalms and prayers, and a series of five Bible studies focusing on important parts of the Gospel of Luke. You can pick one up in the church office or subscribe via email online at www.stjohnslc.org/devos. Questions? Contact Holly at holly@stjohnslc.org or 916.444.0874.
