Pilgrimage of Solidarity & Hope

Sunday, April 13 at 1:00pm beginning at First United Methodist Church

St. John's is partnering with First United Methodist Church, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church to host the second annual Pilgrimage of Solidarity and Hope.

As we walk together in grief, hope, and love, we call for:

An end to the genocide and a permanent ceasefire for the people of Palestine
Refuge and welcome for refugees and displaced people seeking safety
Shelter, sustenance, security and the means to thrive for our poor and unhoused neighbors
Solidarity and hope as we face uncertainty and fear for the future of our country and freedoms; including those of our LGBTQ+ siblings

The Pilgrimage will walk from First United Methodist -> St. Francis of Assisi Catholic -> Trinity Episcopal Cathedral -> St. John's Lutheran -> State Capitol Rose Garden.

Host Wartburg College Choir Students

Good Friday, April 18 Overnight

On April 18, St. John's will welcome the Wartburg College Choir to our Good Friday Service as they share a breath-taking musical offering and lead our music for the powerful service. As part of their tour, these talented students need a place to stay for the night—and we need your help to make that possible! We are looking for hosts to welcome at least two students into their homes for the night on Friday, April 18. With 75 students to host, we truly need as many volunteers as possible. This is a wonderful opportunity to extend hospitality, support young musicians, and build connections.

If you are able to host, please sign up here today!

Earth Day Adult Faith Formation Class

Sunday, April 27 at 10:15am in Oehler Hall

In honor of Earth Day, please join us for a conversation with St. John's member and Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), Karen Ross. We'll hear about the work of the CDFA as a national and international leader in the agricultural industry, connect us as consumers to the land and those who produce our food, and think about our role in caring for creation as both Christians and citizens of this state.

This class is hosted by the Justice Making Ministry of St. John's (justice@stjohnslc.org).

I Shall Not Want: Being Content in an Age of Consumption

Sunday, May 11 at 10:15am in Oehler Hall

Scripture repeatedly assures us of the abundance in God's Creation and love. Nevertheless, we live in a time and culture that denies this reality and tells us that we constantly need more in order to be happy and satisfied. Not only does this take a spiritual and mental toll on us, but it creates discord and strife between us and our human and more-than-human neighbors. Join us for a conversation about finding contentedness through faith.

St. John's is a vibrant, urban church centered in enthusiastic and inspirational worship, grace-filled service and rich opportunities for spiritual growth.

St. John's is a Reconciling in Christ Church of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
